I&#x27;m not normally in favor of surveillance, or reporting students to police for minor infractions.  But for me the key sentence is here:<p>&gt; collects data from public posts on students&#x27; social media accounts<p>Calling this &quot;spying&quot; is disingenuous.  There&#x27;s no spying going on if person A posts something to be available to the general public, and then person B, a member of the general public (in this case the school&#x27;s social media subcontractor), looks at the post.
