California — Ed. Code §49073.6 (social media monitoring of pupils)
The AB 1442 regime: before a school district gathers or maintains pupil information obtained from social media, it must adopt the program in a public meeting, notify pupils and parents, provide access/correction, destroy the information when the pupil turns 18 or leaves, and — the vendor hook — impose the same duties by contract on any third party hired to gather the information, with destruction on contract termination.
Applicability to EdTech
Directly relevant only if a product ever monitors or collects pupils' social-media content for a California district; the third-party contract requirements in subdivision (b)–(c) then apply verbatim. Also useful as the statutory definition of "social media" in the California education context (SOCIAL-MEDIA-MONITORING.md).
