How across your Snapchat emojis are you? (Picture: Getty Images)Let’s face it, we all love a good social media emoji from time to time. With Snapchat now increasing its services to include its new AI chatbot, now is definitely the time to swat up on what they all mean. The photo messaging, video sending, instant messaging, and photo exploring app uses emojis to give their users different messages. Snapchat has been incredibly inventive in using emojis as a form of language to appeal to a young demographic. If you are an original Snapchat user – as in you were there when all you could do was send pictures – then you have probably deciphered a few of the emojis popping up on the app. For those of you late to the Snapchat game and wondering what these symbols correspond to, then prepare to have your mind blown.

The Prince George’s County’s public school system is considering joining a lawsuit filed in Northern California targeting the social media companies behind popular apps and websites including Snapchat, Youtube, Instagram and TikTok. At a school board meeting on Thursday, a lawyer vying to represent the district was asked what student data would potentially have to be shared with the court. “You’re probably talking about more statistical information. I don’t think there’s a significant chance of any student identifications, names or anything like that taking place,” Attorney Gregory K. Wells told the board. He said that if any private information was included in the litigation, that it would be protected from public disclosure by a judge. According to a power point presentation put together by several legal firms and shared on the PGCPS’s website, the lawsuit would be low risk for the county, with costs advanced by counsel and minimal investment of staff time. According to the presentation, “Prince George’s County Public Schools have been left to bear the costs of treating students and families affected by addiction and provide additional support services to affected students.” Legal action would aim to “achieve meaningful recoveries for the plaintiffs, as well as changes
