According to the Justices of the Vernonia School District v. Acton Supreme Court case, “Students who voluntarily participate in school athletics have reason to expect intrusions upon normal rights and privileges, including privacy” (646).

Some sites have privacy policies that give them the right to sell or share information posted on the website, which could violate a student’s right to intellectual property (Rodrgiuez). Oftentimes if the use of a website account is free of charge, the security of personal information is probably minimal. Although settings can be tuned so that…
