The “school shooting copycat threats” were spread on TikTok, according to several police departments and media reports, which also noted the presence of posts on Facebook and Snapchat. But TikTok says there is no evidence that such posts widely circulated on its platform. Threats of violence in schools on Friday could not be found on TikTok late Thursday, though there were many videos urging students to avoid school or to take precautions.
