Rumor is that the faculty at our school is creating fake facebook profiles to keep up on students' doing outside of school, party scene etc.

Here are some of the profiles for reference:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003148684025
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003050320512

Obvious fakes: profile pictures come up on reverse image searches:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/56761896@N06/5242613184/

Likes and interests are extremely generic, place of residency? L.A.? typical.

Oh yeah, and these profiles only attempt to add kids from our school...
The hard part is proving that these profiles were actually created by staff. This is mostly hear-say at this point, but multiple students have claimed to get some of the more lenient teachers to admit to the doings of our administration. Students have been punished for what they made available after these accounts were created, and it's hard to feel bad for them. Making illegal activity such as underage drinking public could only be the work of an uneducated high school student (off topic).

I'm personally outraged, and I know that anything put on facebook should ever be considered private, but really?

If a student did approach administration, what laws would arise? are there any pertaining to creation of fake identities online, specifically to gather "private" information? Should administration even be approached?

discuss.

Tell your principal to suck your cock, hit him in the mouth, laugh all the way to the bank.

Actually, you wouldn't make any money, but you would be a hero among mere high school students.

Couldn't it be called fraud or something? I highly doubt it's legal.

it is illegal, when you make your facebook profile it says you can't pretend to be someone else or steal someone else's identity, which is essentially what they are doing when they take other peoples photos and pretend to be them.

Biggest give away was them liking Simple Plan





This happened back when I was in high school, probably about 4 or so years ago.
Back story was that some kids got mad at the principal and made some groups that just talked shit on her. School found out and handed out suspensions. Other groups were made that indirectly targeted the principal. They also handed out suspensions to anybody that had anything to do with it.

I got a two day suspension for joining the indirect group, writing "Let's play a game, let's see how long this group lasts before you guys get suspended". Then I left the group.
The vice principal compared my action to "joining a Nazi party, saying they're all idiots, then leaving".


After this whole ordeal happened. Fake accounts were created and they messaged students asking for "the dirt" on the principal and staff.

Shit's stupid.

They can't really do anything unless they have full on proof or have witnessed you doing anything in person. They can monitor all they want and its real easy to just delete them off your friends list.

Something similar like that happened to the son of one of my dad's partners at his law firm. The dad slapped the school with a law suit, and they dropped everything. A school has no right to suspend you for something you say about it or it's staff on the internet. They A) have no proof it was actually you and B) are infringing on your first amendment rights. Now sure no police officer would do a thing about that, but if you actually drop some legal paper's on the table, they will back down.

I got threatened with conspirating a riot charges for saying something on a group called our schools asshole group (since we were ranked the worst home crowd in the state to deal with at games).

I said something like "who's ready for a shit show of a game against central?" (our high school rivals)
and my buddy said something like a fight might break out.

Also got in trouble for inappropriate theme suggestions. we made it private and they started using fake profiles to try to join. One added me as a friend and eventually I figured out it was one of the vice principles. One night we were bored and mentioned something about a party in the woods on my status. there was soo many police there that night it's ridicoulus. I sent him a message saying "Oh hey Mr. Jordan, glad you could show up with your friends."

Got brought into the office and they started threatening with things again. It was at that moment that I requested that my Dad be there if there were going to be legal issues. He's an asshole to my whole family and pretty much everyone else that lives and does not deal with other people's bullshit. The fact that he's 6'6'' with a mustache that rivals Tom Selleck's also helps with the intimidation factor. After him being there for 5 minutes I walked away clean and a handshake and an apology for the charges. That was pretty much the only time I was ever glad my dad was with me in the principals office.

For refference on tom selleck

Well the obvious answer is either to get NS to add them and completely overwhelm them with retarded posts or do like^^^^ and completely fuck with them.

Either one would be hilarious

Only thing you can do is not post dumb shit and jeer at the admin. for being over zealous mabey launch an informative campaign to warn your peers. What there doing isn't illegal and nothing you post on FB is "private" in any sense of the word... They deffinatly can openly punish you for shit they find. So launch a counter-intelligence campaign and blow up their spot. They can't get you in trouble for that

Seems like this isn't at all specific to my school, some pretty good stories in here.

I like the everyone add them thought, I'll post the rest of the fake profiles tomorrow, I think there's about five of them. The most obvious give away is that they all add each other first...haha.

How I figured mine out was by email. they usually created like a hotmail account and listed their email in the contact information. Once you type in the address it usually pops up with a name. Stupid bastards used their actual name to create an email for a fake account on facebook. wasn't really too hard to figure out from there.

If i was positive that one of my facebook friends were a school administrator id definitely screw with them

I.e, send them links to lemonparty like sites, accuse them of cheating on my best friend, and invite them to fake parties.

At my school the head football coach is also the "Life Lessons" teacher, a class every freshman has to take and hes a major asshole. His daughter was a senior and she got hella twisted at a party and she took her shirt off and chuged right from the bottle. Someone took pics and posted them around school...major embarassment to Big V *football coach* funny shit :)

Story unrelated.

our school did this. they added kids and then at school they would call you down to the office i you liked something that would make you look bad. Example.. his person likes weed. called down to the office and told to remove because it looks bad on the school.

some kid just said fuck you, walked out and it stopped haha

this is the most perfect opp for trolling and i dont know why you arent taking full advantage. Make friends with them play along. get everyone you know to have a party and only drink pop(water) everyone over the age of 18 smoke cigs rolled like joints. get them to show up and bust it up only to find out that the joke is on them bc they are so fucking stupid and they didnt think you would know. GET THEM HARD!!!!!

The only state that is illegal in is Missouri... And it certainly is not illegal to pretend to be someone else on Facebook... How do you figure that site rules and regulations = laws. Facebook isn't private in a legal sense. Don't be misleading. You would look like such a fool if you tried to claim they were breaking any law publliclly.

At my old highschool their is a page created by parents to share info on parties, who is going out of town etc. It's a closed group for parents only and membership is heavily monitored. it has shut down their party scene almost entirely.

Make fake accounts claiming to be involved with parties with students form your school. Just make it from the net town over or something. Just come up with a ton of fake evidence involving believable but fictional events and characters. They'll be like got you, but then you really got them.

Or just use your profile and send all the suspected accounts a message like "hi their, [insert principal's name here]. Hopefully they'll be stunned, since they think their plan is totally believable.

Get somebody who can do h4x and hack their shit.

Give the accounts to ns, let lulz ensue.

or create fake accounts and post scat porn on their walls.

1. Don't put of photos of you drinking on the internet? Or is that not an option, because you know, you NEED to let people know you're cool and party and stuff...

2. Who gives a shit if you're suspended, especially for something so trivial? You do realize high school doesn't matter...

1. Don't party with faggy kids who post party pics online...

2. If I were a parent I'd be most pissed about the fact that my kid was posting party pictures online like an attention whore. Then I'd be mad at the school for the suspension thing. The drinking thing not so much.

lemon party might get you into trouble, but if its a girl, hit on them, pretend you know them, anything like that. Root beer keg party is always a good one, a little more effort than the fake invite, but if you play it right it could blow your schools credibility/reputation, and there is nothing illegal about it.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but for those of you that don't know about the root beer keg party, you pretty much send an invite to them saying it is a keg party, or say something about having cases etc, the idea is to be vague. They show up and notify the police, only to find you and 4 friends drinking soda. All you did was invite your new Facebook friend to a social gathering, if anything they should reward you for being so inclusive. can still get you in trouble/a bad situation with the school, but if you play it off right and get a few friends to do the same it will either end your problem or escalate it
