It isn't stated as some school issue. It is a state law about post illegal activities in social media. The news media do it all day and so do many individuals. Is Louisiana tracking them all down?

What if 1 of the students had died? Would a new thread be written saying what a POS the grown up was for not doing the right thing?

If we all lived in Louisiana, then half the videos posted here on ATS would land us in jail. (Protesters setting things on fire, people assaulting other people over politics, etc.) That's a bit chilling to think about.

That law has good intentions behind it.
If people have started behaving thuggishly for the sake of recording themselves doing it and getting kudos from their peers, isn't this one way of cracking down on the problem?
The catch is that it's hard to draw the legal line between that and whistle-blowing.

You could say, in both cases, that she was looking for notoriety; one is foul click-bait and the other is an attempt to right a wrong, but both could be punished. Laws like this worry me.

This needs to be challenged on 1st amendment grounds.
Nothing about this sits right with me.

This is a law?
"charged with unlawful posting of criminal activity for notoriety and publicity for sharing the video on social media, where officials said that it was "shared repeatedly."
Shouldn't the news channels be guilty of this action with a large part of their reporting. They are now on social media. News outlets use it to make money from advertising.
