I'm a high school counselor, and I'm increasingly concerned about how much personal information our students are sharing publicly on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. I want to develop a workshop for parents and teens about practical social media privacy, moving beyond just "set your profile to private." I need to cover topics like location tagging, understanding app permissions, the risks of viral challenges, and how data can be scraped and used. For other educators or digital literacy advocates, what have been your most effective talking points or real-world examples that actually resonate with teenagers and prompt them to change their settings and behaviors? I'm looking for concrete, actionable advice, not just scare tactics.
