    A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like “should I shoot him” with a gun emoji. Yeah not getting any sympathy from me on that one…

    oh but I thought you had nothing to hide Sharon? I thought you didn’t care about using private messaging? I thought you said to me that Signal is used only for creeps and drug dealers that need to hide from the police? Well, thank god you’re not one of those, I guess…good for you Sharon

    she sent a private Snapchat message referencing shooting the child or the school Yeah talking about committing a school shooting is going to get you flagged.

    One reason why you need to use a proper privacy respecting E2EE messaging e.g. Signal.

    What I don’t get is how simply closing the laptop deletes anything. On every laptop and every OS I used closing the lid just makes it go to sleep and everything is the same when you open it back up again. Never was anything deleted. If somebody know a scenario where stuff would be deleted, please explain so that I can avoid it.
