Where's the proof these were actually students. The article says the anonymous posts were within a five mile radius. Weak story.

Could be anyone... But college kids, particularly our students, went this route before using the same platform.

Did some research, you can post by location... I'm in the five mild radius so I could see La Salle...
Advertising parties, complaints about the basketball team, and some of what the above was about. Didn't find anything to that extent though.

I didn't know what Yik Yak was, and I am under 30 and in tech.
Further, Alan Wendell is still at La Salle? Had some battles with that guy.

I'm 58 and I only know what Yik Yak is because I've read some articles about kids using it at HS to bully other kids. I'm all for freedom of speech, but it's an anonymous posting tool and teenagers are tearing down other kids and the stuff circulates around a school. Imagine how harmful an app like this can be with complete anonymity and zero accountability. |

Was really a breeding ground for the worst type of gossip and immaturity. This is today's comparison - just far more accessible now. |
