There are two ways such a kill-switch could go:
1.) It can be circumvented with sufficient effort and hardware access. Then it is useless as a theft deterrent.
2.) It cannot be circumvented. Then it renders the handset vulnerable to the malice or incompetence of whoever controls the killswitch, and thus useless.
How... how many of them?
Maybe next someone should sue Wikipedia for declaring their article non-notable. That's censorship.
Private companies have no obligation toward any kind of "freedom of speech".

Edit: Maybe if the school, or some of the administrators directly involved, have a Facebook account, and the ToS also forbid users asking other users for their account information...
It sounds like the school was violating Facebook's Terms of Service, too.
The school has no relationship with Facebook and isn't bound by any terms of service - it's the student who was coerced to violate them.
Fortunately, the author included a perfectly sensible and falsifiable prediction along with that theory:
What I think happened is the flight crew was overcome by smoke and the plane continued on the heading, probably on George (autopilot), until it ran out of fuel or the fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed. You will find it along that route–looking elsewhere is pointless.
Unfortunately, that prediction got falsified almost immediately. The plane changed course at least twice according to radar (the second time an hour later), and this latest development implies at least a third course change southward. It's nowhere near the route that Mr. Goodfellow predicted.
That story might have explained the first course change to the west, but it doesn't explain the plane turning south over than an hour later. This theory is basically dead.
Here's a map of the possible flight paths (which they've now narrowed down to the southern one).
Paying to evade political censorship is every corporation's favorite thing to do.
Presumably, now they have narrowed down the crash site, they can start looking for the black box and the wreck to figure out the cause.
If you make an algorithm that writes original literature based on music... well *then* we'd basically be looking at the AI singularity.
