      #MeToo tag used by woman with multiple accusations of being the harasser, not the harassed. This will give a very different context to the hashtag.

          School principal imprisoned for nine years for taking students nude photos from their confiscated cell phones and publishing them online!

          Real question... only nine years?

              Not only is it bad, its a matter of WTF was this perv thinking. . . And to the next point . . (as has been tested / is being tested in court) can a minor be charged with creating/distributing child pornography. . .

                I didn't read the article but not only is that against child pornography laws. It also goes against any number of state and federal privacy laws, as well as digital intrusion and digital espionage (although that may only be for state actors) laws.

                  And specifically using a position of state mandated authority as a means of exploiting children!

                    Yeah, this is a disaster.

                    The laws are no where close to keeping up. Not really a surprise.

                                Finally, somebody sees it. Now the question is, are they going to do something about it? If so, will America follow suit? Probably not.

                                      What is the most likely means of achieving this (since ignoring timezones isn't really possible for computers), is to do it a state at a time since we already have two that don't use DST iirc.

                                          Why isnt ignoring TZ possible? All transactions done in UTC, no TZ data, everything would be so much simpler.
