If 4 people are going to downvote me within that time and not respond, I’m going to say something about it. I notice you took the time to respond to me without answering the question. Do you have an answer?
I was gonna write out a response (which is why I was back here anyways) but your demeanor is just “I wanna be angry” and there really is no amount of logic you apply to people like you.
I guess. It just annoys me when people downvote me a whole bunch when I ask a question but don’t explain their downvotes. I don’t care if I say something and everyone on Lemmy thinks it’s worth downvoting and I get 2500 downvotes or whatever, but I just think people should have the basic courtesy to explain why.
I know they won’t, but it still annoys me.
EDIT: See, in this response (I’m editing just because I saw it already had a few downvotes) I don’t care if I get dozens of downvotes to this comment and no one responds. It’s when I ask a question. I don’t downvote people for asking questions unless I also respond. If I don’t like their question, I’ll explain why. I think that’s just courteous. But maybe I’m in a minority. Courtesy is mostly dead on the internet anyway.
Typing is hard, voting is easy. Reddit was the same way. Just accept it and move on, frequently things shift the other way and you get comments if you’re just patient.
In this case it’s also one guy with 4 accounts being a dick and troll, not 4 different people. Keep in mind, quantity of votes doesn’t mean unique people.
I feel like people downvote like that when they don’t like how the comment makes them feel, but can’t be bothered to think about why that’s the case.
And I have no interest in what those people think feel.
Alternatively, it can make me do a double take, and reconsider my own reasoning, just to make sure I haven’t made an error, in fact or in judgment. I don’t think you need to do that here; what the adult said was most definitely a potential threat.
He shouldn’t have been allowed boarding in the first place. The security services saw that message, but let him board the plane. They’re fully responsible for the bill of two jet fighters used to trail the plane, and would be in way more deep trouble if this was an actual terrorist.
Yes. Saying you are going to blow up an airplane is a threat. If I tell you I’m going to kill my mother, that’s a threat whether or not my mother hears about it.
Is it a threat if it’s inside a private chat with friends?
For you to make a threat, you need to say it to the people you’re threatening. It’s not like he posted it publicly or dm’ed the airline and government.
Granted it isn’t the US, so our customs and laws don’t apply. That being said, it really depends on how they got the evidence I think.
If it was a public post(intentionally or accidentally public), or someone reported it, or snapchat’s TOS authorizes scanning and reporting “private” messages, then yeah, seems like this teenager’s actions should have consequences.
If it’s a result of an illegal police state that has access to people’s private communications, the evidence should be fully inadmissible. And the response is a result of information that should not have been in their hands to begin with, making this 100% on them.
I truly hope that’s the case, though I think we’re all a little more accustomed to seeing police state overstepping in this day in age. And the article is meant to be ragebait for that anyway I think.
I’d say wait for the details to surface, and if it truly ends up being police state overstep, I hope their citizens hold them accountable in whatever way will bring about change. I like the French methods personally.
The harsh consequences of being in a police state
What should happen if there is an explicit threat by a passenger to blow up a plane? Just hope it’s a joke because it seems like one?
EDIT: As usual, lots of downvotes, but no actual answer to the question.
How is it a threat if said privately?
The same way it’s a threat if you tell someone privately that you’re going to blow up a building. But it’s not clear that this was truly private.
Holy shit dude it’s only been a few minutes calm the fuck down

Ok… but I’m not angry.
It’s just edgy teenagers who think they know everything about how the world works, don’t sweat it.

I agree. Sometimes I just can’t help myself.

Did they see it before he boarded the plane though? The article didn’t make that clear.

Yep fair. I rescind my point.
Is it a threat when a high school kid says in a private chat that they’re going to bring a gun to school tomorrow? It’s exactly the same thing.

I think the former is a lot more likely. But the article is too short on details.
