What joy the Tech Bros have brought us /s

Sure, schools have always fought each other for mindless reasons, but to have a social media campaign for it now? ffs...

TikTok and Snapchat posts urge London pupils to join ‘school wars’ fights

Met urges pupils not to get involved and asks platforms to ban accounts promoting ‘fights’ with images of weapons

@Lazarou I wouldn't flatter this by calling it a campaign. It looks to be a kid or some weirdo who is out of touch with reality trying to achieve clicks and gather footage. The 'events' organised so far - to my knowledge at least (i work in childrens services and it is being followed with concern) no young people have taken part, at worst a few kids will lurk at meeting points and float around the edges to observe what happens but not take part.
@Lazarou Posters look to be made with AI and im sure its just a matter of time before the police zero in on whoever is behind it
