New Illinois law requires students to turn over social media passwords to schools - EAGnews.org: "SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – A recently implemented Illinois law now gives school officials the authority to demand social media passwords from students as a means of combating “cyberbullying.”

...The new law allows school district and university officials to demand a student’s social media credentials if they have reasonable cause to believe the student violated a school’s disciplinary policies, regardless of whether the activity occurred during school hours or on campus, according to the news site.
The law, ironically named “The Right to Privacy in the School Setting Act,” went into effect Jan. 1.
