• Today, we’re rolling out a new School Partnership Program for Instagram, designed to help educators report potential teen safety issues, including bullying, directly to us.
  • We’ve worked with the International Society for Technology in Education and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development to test the School Partnership program, and we’ve seen promising early results in addressing more teen safety issues in schools.
  • We’ll continue to listen to parents and to create tools – like the School Partnership Program and Teen Accounts – that help keep kids safe online.

        More encroachment on First Amendment rights. Schools have argued successfully that they have jurisdiction over children outside of school if what they “say” outside of school makes it back and causes a “disruption.”

        This is ripping the mask off of that final push. I’m not sure what the goal is here, but the effect is that children will have no right to privacy and will face active punishment for thought crime from the age they start school.

        I mean, they’re already doing this but now even harder
