All the problems could have been easily fixed in one simple way - show the real problem is when high schoolers use cyber bullying as a way to escalate harassment of one particular student. This answers the common rebuttal of 'just don't use social media/look at that website' - if it's not an anonymous site and a high school community are using it, it is not longer easy to ignore because the abuse will follow you around the next day since everyone else DOES use the site. This removes the option of ignoring it, since most students want to know what their tormentors are falsely accusing them of or are going to use against them at school.
The theme is also fairly obvious in the first few moments, making the whole experience very Anvicilious.
The Maisie Williams drama comes much closer to getting the message right while maintaining the sense that there will be consequences for online activity at the end.
