Thousands of school shooting threats in the U.S. have been hoaxes spread by teenagers on TikTok and Snapchat

Bad news! Social media certainly make it easier to spread such hoaxes!

"They’re fueling worry among families and frantic responses from law enforcement and district administrators. Most of the threats—thousands, according to state and local estimates—have been hoaxes spread by teenagers on TikTok and Snapchat. Yet some have led to student arrests, canceled classes and football games, and drops in attendance."
