> 19% of students at schools that use filtering technology say they were even aware of students who were “outed” for LGBTQ+ as a result of the filtering.
I am very skeptical this 19% should be taken at face value.
Eh, idk about the percentage, but the idea sounds plausible to me.
Teenagers find dark corners to make out in like water finds a crack. It’s not hard to imagine an automated system flagging contact between students as potentially inappropriate.
Why? This is about students hearing about such case. Rumors go around fast and far. One kid like that may easily mean good half of the school heard about the situation.
