Kids post publicly on social media under their own name.
School find out what they said publicly.

Not blaming the victims, but like… parents really need to be teaching kids what social media is.

I’m glad I was a socially awkward kid that was too shy to post things publicly.

Some of us do teach our kids and they just don’t care, I guess. My oldest (17) has had a smartphone for a few years. She knowa what not to do on social media. Does it anyway. That pretty well tracks with the rest of her (mostly) poor decisions. What can I say? She’s …Consistent. 🤷‍♂️

  I’m keeping my kiddos phones locked down until they start paying their own bills.

I’m sorry, but it doesn’t sound like you read the article.

Some salient quotes:

Companies cited a variety of ways they gain access to student digital activity, including browser plug-ins, API integrations and device software.

Many companies collect and flag sensitive data, including students’ private messages and search histories.

So, they work with shady spyware companies to collect private student data, retain it, and then try to sell it to schools.

I, for one, am fucking shocked!
