I'd expect someone's BFF to call the police if their friend is making credible talk about shooting up a school or whatever. I sometimes feel like privacy talk online can be seriously divorced from how human relationships actually work.


Sure but you wouldn’t expect your filling cabinet to call the cops on you. Because your filling cabinet doesn’t read your papers. The problem is the spying not the acting on credible threats of violence.
