FARMINGTON (25News Now) - Two juveniles were removed from Farmington Central High School Wednesday night following a reported fight, with police saying one sent a threat to the other after that. Farmington Police were called around 7:25 p.m. to the high school. School administrators told police that two juveniles were fighting and removed from the school. Police said that while off campus, one of those juveniles allegedly sent a threatening Snapchat message to the other - including a picture of a gun. Police said there was not a threat to the high school and the school was never locked down, since the alleged threat was made and received off campus. A Farmington officer was on scene until the juvenile who made the alleged threat was in custody. Police said the gun was later found to be an airsoft gun that looked identical to a Glock handgun. Farmington officers and Fulton County Sheriff deputies found that juvenile who made the alleged threat at his home where he was taken into custody without incident. He was released to his parents with a county juvenile intake for aggravated assault. Police said a second juvenile was brought to the department by his parents and

Earlier this week Meta revealed it removed 330,000 users from Instagram, 173,000 from Facebook and 39,000 from Threads between December 4 and 11 last year. The company remains critical of the age restriction, arguing it has isolated vulnerable teens from support in online communities and driven them to less regulated apps. "The premise of the law, which prevents under-16-year-olds from holding a social media account so they aren't exposed to an 'algorithmic experience', is false," Meta said in a blog post. "Platforms
