A new social media trend encourages students to damage school-issued Chromebooks.

Ann Skeet, Ethics Center senior director of leadership ethics said the trend is a reminder never to underestimate social media’s influence on young, impressionable minds.

“It’s not surprising that once something gets out on a platform like TikTok that it spreads rapidly and it catches the attention of lots of young people,” she said. “In this case, you know, I try to imagine a world where we are holding the technology company as accountable as we’re likely to hold the students in this case.”
