There’s a thread on ACSOL about this. I share the popular opinion there that everyone who shared that video should be prosecuted and registered without exception as a matter of due process and equal application of law.

Many (if not all) of those involved in this incident are part of the hang-all-SOs crowd, and registration would certainly make them rethink their opinions about the registry as a whole. After their likely “shouldn’t apply to me because I was trying to help” arguments fail the first few times, they’re almost certain to discover that their circumstance is not totally unlike those of the vast majority of other registrants.

It’s not a matter of vindictiveness toward these likely SO-haters, though most are well-deserving. It’s a matter of demonstrating the unfairness and uselessness of the registry. It will also show the gross imbalance of authority of prosecutors’ disregard of law, primarily allowed in practice by judges who have reduced themselves to rubber stamps in the current justice system.

Also, I’m pretty sure Facebook could/would be found criminally liable or negligent. I’m curious to see what kind of blowback they get, and how it affects their no-SO policy.

Valid Point – those who use monitored emails or who are part of distribution groups have to endure humiliation every time there’s something circulated. There should be a way to opt out.

Do not forward it of course – be careful….this one is scary too! It is not just on FB – it is all over the internet it seems

Especially since their stings and entrapment is what put tens of thousands of citizens on the sex offender registry to start with!
