Today's Newsletter: Stupid Social Media Tricks

You would think that at we roll into 2015, people may have figured out how to behave online. But I guess if Sony executives can’t handle it, who can we trust? Twitter yesterday deactivated an account called @SCHateTweets that targeted 50 students at the district's high school as well as Principal Scott DeShong and Superintendent Bob O'Donnell from State College Area School District, PA. Police in Charlotte, NC arrested a 22-year-old man for making threats against local school on the notorious Yikyak site. And three middle school students in Grand Rapids, Michigan will are in hot water after a prank went viral on the KIK chat app. All this in the last 72 hours! Here’s hoping the idiocy will stop next year. —Kevin Hogan, Content Director
