[governance] Teacher teasing 2013

[Charity Gamboa]

Hi De,

I believe that in Facebook all you need to do is go to the timeline and hit
report/block. There's an onscreen instruction. I believe the terms of
reporting someone is based on the following:

- pretending to be someone else
- using someone else's photo
- list a fake name
- fake account

I doubt that the FBI has jurisdiction over a local school in St. Lucia
since the FBI can only have authority on violations of US Laws in the US
and its territories.  I'm no expert on this but it just makes sense that it
should consider only US violations, unless there are cases when there's
consent from other countries.
