.@AFTunion teamed up with @ptogetheraction to press @instagram to confront and stop the harm to children that parents and teachers are dealing with around anonymous accounts that are used to bully and harass students. 🧵 #WhatKidsNeed mashable.com/article/instag…
This problem is very serious, and I’ve talked to educators who see the impact of anonymous accounts used solely for bullying and harassment of other students. Bullying seriously impacts the students themselves and it also affects their peers and the class.
Unfortunately, parents and educators who see its effects, are powerless because we must wait on @Meta’s moderation system. Often, these accounts are left up even after schools, and school districts ask for them to be taken down because they very clearly violate @Meta’s standards.
Multiple groups representing a broad range of educators, counselors, school and district staff have tried to get social media platforms to pay attention and address the issue. @NSPRA has a report about the broad problems. nspra.org/Schools-and-So…
And it’s why we’re joining @ptogetheraction to call on @Meta to meet with parents and teachers to create a process for dealing with this problem. #WhatKidsNeed
