Did anyone get alarmed at the recent story about UVa hiring a private contractor to monitor social media? "Since Social Sentinel was implanted at UVa in September, the alerts have helped police intervene in a few situations, Rexrode said. They also have notified police to potential self-harm situations, in which case officers can conduct a welfare check or alert the Office of the Dean of Students. “It’s not just about the big things or the crimes; it’s about the small things we couldn’t know about before,” Rexrode said."
