Judge Demands Email and Facebook Passwords From Women In Sexual Harassment Case

An anonymous reader writes "Back in September, a U.S. judge ruled that a school district violated the First Amendment (freedom of speech) and Fourth Amendment (unreasonable search and seizure) rights of a 12-year-old student by forcing her to hand over her Facebook password to school officials who in turn used it to search for messages they deemed inappropriate. This month, another U.S. judge has ordered that women suing their employer for sexual harassment must hand over cell phones, passwords to their email accounts, blogs, as well as to Facebook and other social networks."

Re:Do as a I say...

And I say the web site the fucking article is on is the VERY WORST I've seen in years. There were better sites on Geocities. It's about as clumsy, juvenile, and unuseable as any I've seen, obviously done by a rank amateur who has never coded anything in his life. Here is a different one, and it looks like that submitted article was plagairized from the one I linked.

I liked the internet a whole lot better when it was just us nerds. The AC who submitted the story is most probably the owner of the gawdoffal site TFS linked. Oh, the one I linked sucks, too, but not nearly as bad as the one from TFS. So far, thenextweb.com gets my vote as the year's worst site.

Excuse me while I get the blood out of my eyes, damn but it BURNS!
