TikTok, Snap, & The Grid
Sending a Snapchat image is 100% safe because the app deletes the photo the second it is viewed.
FALSE. Anyone can take a screenshot using another phone or a modified app without you ever knowing. Once it leaves your phone, you lose control of it.
If a random user on a Discord server or game lobby offers you free V-Bucks, Robux, or skins, it is always a scam.
TRUE. There is no such thing as a free generator. These links are exclusively designed to steal your login credentials or session tokens.
A website with a padlock icon next to the URL is certified safe, and you can trust it with your passwords.
FALSE. The padlock only means the connection is encrypted. Hackers can get free security certificates for fake phishing sites in minutes.
If you are in a private group chat, what you say is legally protected and cannot get you in trouble with the school or the police.
FALSE. Private chats are only private until someone takes a screenshot. Once a screenshot is shared, it can be used as evidence for school suspension or legal action.

Turning off location sharing on your main social apps completely stops tech companies from tracking where you go.
FALSE. Apps can still approximate your location using your IP address, Wi-Fi networks you connect to, and even the locations of your friends who are standing next to you.
It is safe to share your gaming password with your best friend, as long as you change it every few weeks.
FALSE. Sharing passwords is never safe. If your friend logs in on a compromised computer, malware can steal both of your accounts instantly.
If you receive a DM from a friend's actual account telling you to click a link, it is guaranteed safe to click.
FALSE. Your friend's account could have been compromised. Hackers use hijacked accounts to automatically blast malicious links to all their friends.
Simply staying in a toxic group chat where someone is being heavily cyberbullied makes you just as responsible as the person doing it
DEBATABLE. (Great for debate!) By staying silent, you provide an audience for the bully, which acts as passive bystander approval.
What class did we have stars on before
Social Studies, Friday Period 3
Taking a video down or deleting a post after 2 minutes means nobody will ever see it or track it back to you.
FALSE. Bots scrape and archive social media content constantly. Two minutes is more than enough time for a post to be downloaded or screen-recorded.
Downloading custom mods or game cheats from a link in a TikTok bio or YouTube description is safe if the video comments say it works.
FALSE. Comment sections on those videos are heavily botted with fake accounts to trick you into downloading malware or info-stealers.
Setting up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via text message ensures your account can never be hacked.
FALSE. While much safer than no 2FA, hackers can bypass text codes via SIM-swapping or fake login pages. Authenticator apps are vastly more secure.
Blocking a toxic user is an completely useless strategy because they can just make a burner account in 30 seconds.
FALSE. Blocking breaks their immediate momentum, stops notifications from hitting your screen, and creates a clear log history for platform moderation teams.

The TikTok algorithm tracks your interests solely based on the videos you manually like or share.
FALSE. It tracks how many seconds you pause on a video, how many times you rewatch it, and even how fast you scroll past content you dislike.
If you get banned from an online game, you can easily bypass it forever by just making a new account under a fake email
FALSE. Modern anti-cheat systems can issue hardware bans (HWID) or IP bans, blocking your actual console or PC from ever connecting to their servers again.
Using variations of the same password for different accounts is perfectly fine as long as you change the number at the end.
FALSE. Automated hacking tools use "credential stuffing" to instantly guess slight variations of leaked passwords across different websites.
Sending an offensive meme or joke in a group chat is totally fine if you follow it up by saying "it was just a joke" or "it's satire."
FALSE. Intent does not dictate impact. Digital records preserve the statement permanently, and schools/platforms judge the content itself, not the excuse.

Schools have the legal right to monitor what you search and do on your personal phone if you are connected to the school Wi-Fi network
TRUE. When you sign into a school network, you agree to their digital policy. Network administrators can see the domains and traffic passing through their routers.
Companies that make free-to-play mobile games care more about selling your behavioral data than making money off in-game purchases.
TRUE. For many free games, the player is the product. Background data brokers track your screen time, device info, and location to sell to advertisers.
Clicking on a sketchy link can infect your device with malware even if you close the tab before the page finishes loading.
TRUE. "Drive-by downloads" can trigger scripts to execute the millisecond the browser initiates the connection to the host server.
Reporting a user inside an app like Instagram or Discord alerts the bully that you were the specific person who reported them.
FALSE. Standard in-app reporting tools are strictly anonymous to protect users from targeted retaliation.
