The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued new guidance to assist kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools in addressing anonymous threats of violence on social media, and to provide steps for school officials, law enforcement and community partners to take in assessing, responding, and preparing for threats. 

Social media has become ubiquitous–everyone from the Pope to your second grade English teacher has a following. The one group that’s lagging behind? Law enforcement.

Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram provided access to data for Geofeedia, which then gave law enforcement the location data in order to monitor protesters in Oakland and Baltimore, according to a blog post published by the American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday.
