Parents often use online services that shield children from malicious actors, along with parental control software to regulate the amount of time children stay online, hoping to prevent addiction, and to also restrict what they can access online. However, these are all negated when teachers force the students to use social media for their classes. As a parent, I know this as I have kids who were forced to go to Facebook because their teachers (and worse, the department and/or college), albeit unofficially, use it for class-related announcements.
