2:00 - Social Media Update: New Laws, New Apps, New Issues with KSB School Law
Technology and social media questions continue to dominate in 2019-2020. Whether it's data privacy, phishing scams, cyberbullying, or sexting, there are always new things to be aware of and troubling trends to avoid. During the last 2 years, the Unicameral changed the state's primary child pornography laws and harassment laws with an eye toward the prevalence in student sexting and cyberbullying. They've also added new ways for students and parents to sue each other over leaked pictures and broken promises. Good job security for us; heartburn for you. This presentation will provide an update on these issues and discuss recent cases...and how to make sure your school doesn't end up in one!
