Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

How would you like this installed in your workplace? How about ankle monitors that detect if you're jaywalking? What about if your car had a sensor that automatically informed law enforcement if you were speeding. What if your ISP would shut off anytime you watched a video with copyright without permission.

See how bullshit "if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" is?

There's this wild, outlandish idea that kids don't have the maturity, experience, or impulse control to make informed and rational decisions all the time. Thus we don't give kids the exact same rights and responsibilities we give to adults -- they gradually gain them as they mature and demonstrate they can handle them.

How would you like this installed in your workplace?

Yes, because my workplace staffed entirely by people 21+ is the same thing as a school filled with literal children. Also, for some unknowable reason we don't have issues with people vaping in the building despite having people that smoke and vape. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact none of us are teenagers.

What if [slippery slope]?

You do know that's a fallacy, right?
