School threats have risen by 158%, according to a study released by the National School Safety and Security Services organization. Almost a third of those threats led to school evacuations, and about a third of those were disseminated on social media.
Faced with increased threats, the challenge for schools is to determine when to evacuate. There are no national guidelines for administrators on determining threat levels, and most decisions to close are made by superintendents and school boards, often in conjunction with police departments or emergency services.

The Changing Stance on Privacy At Facebook
0 comments
The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, once famously was quoted as saying that privacy was no longer a "social norm" in a society that seemed compelled to share everything. Since then Facebook has had a tricky relationship with privacy. The company often seems to have a very hard time understanding what users do and don’t want to share with particular people, or the whole world for that matter, and has made a number of faux pas by changing its privacy settings without letting users know that their pages were suddenly accessible by more groups of people.
