    "Parents in Lower Merion Township are expressing concerns
    over the school district's decision to provide Chromebooks
    to elementary school students, with debates over screen
    time and the ability to opt out."

    "Lower Merion Township", that sounds familiar, is that
    the district that presumably manufactured child
    pornography by sneak pictures from school provided
    laptops to high school students for home use? It's a
    statistical likelihood that the provided laptops captured
    the students in sexual situations, therefore the
    school's secret picture taking was a conspiracy to
    manufacture child porn. Unfortunately, the police
    did not treat it as a crime and deferred to the school
    who's lawyers destroyed an unknown amount of evidence.

    My recollection is true, it's the same Lower Merion
    area school system from the high school scandal from 2009!

    I stress that the police investigations of Lower Merion
    only happened *after* the culprits were allowed to
    destroy evidence. The speculation about conspiracy to
    make child pornography I figure is safe to make whenever
    children and areas they think are private are invaded
    by secret surveillance.

    "The FBI's investigation ended with the decision to not pursue
    charges against LMSD. They claimed to have not found enough
    evidence to prove criminal intent behind the spying, despite not
    having interviewed any of the students. Robbins, Williams, and
    Hasan were all pressed by their attorneys to settle their
    lawsuits and avoid the difficulties of battling their cases in
    court. Eventually, they all agreed. As the main public face of
    the WebcamGate lawsuits, Blake Robbins' settlement was for
    $600,000rCoa lot of money for any teenager. However, only $175,000
    was awarded to Robbins himself, with $425,000 going to legal
    fees. Hasan, who had the same lawyer as Robbins, was awarded
    $10,000. Williams was told to sign an NDA to receive $10,000, but
    he refused, eventually getting a settlement of $13,500.

    "Fourteen months after Robbins' settlement, his sister Paige, 19,
    was fearful that the images captured of her could be
    inappropriate and could damage her own ambitions of one day being
    district attorney. She brought forward her own lawsuit against
    the school district. A spokesperson for LMSD referred to the suit
    as "an attempted money-grab," and Paige received a torrent of
    abuse online, including disturbing antisemitic messages. Robbins
    withdrew the lawsuit."

    How disappointing it is for *criminal* cases to be deferred
    to *civil* law!
