In the short term it will likely have an large impact on some young people's lives. Many of us forget how incredibly embarrassing and bullying school can be on us. Regardless of how fake they might be, it's how others react to them in front of you which is the most damaging part. People use them as material to bully and harrass people. Long term, it becomes "normalised" and they will lose their value quite quickly. If one bully has access to the software, no doubt the victims will too.
