US schools cancel class pictures after Epstein-linked rumours spread online: Are fears over student data and safety justified or fuelled by misinformation?
Several US school districts have cancelled or revised class picture plans after social media posts linked photography firm Lifetouch to Apollo Global Management and its former CEO Leon Black, who had past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Lifetouch has denied any connection to Epstein or access to student images. Parents in Texas and Arizona raised concerns about student data. Reviews of millions of US Department of Justice files found no evidence linking Epstein to school photographs.
