Students Use Sidechat For Real-Time Campus Alerts

On Dec. 13, amid a shooting at Brown University, students used Sidechat to share fast, often unverified information; an AP analysis of nearly 8,000 posts across the following 36 hours shows real-time, fragmented reports preceding official alerts. The messaging helped peers coordinate sheltering while exposing verification delays and raising questions about campus safety communications.
