Legal Consultation & Reading via Social Media
Reading a book online via YouTube, Zoom, etc. is perfectly fine under copyright laws - as long the following criteria is met:
1) It's not being done for profit
2) You are not altering the original content (different ending, etc.)
3) It's an extension of the classroom and the audience is students (providing students and not general public the link to the video stream)
4) If it is made public, the teacher should be reading the book as part of a lesson plan, asking questions, interjecting her/his comments.
5) Access to any archived version ( if saved) is limited solely to students and not made available to the public at large.
Where does reading books online get tricky? Avoid situations such as reading bedtime stories and broadcasts live for the public to access. While it's unlikely any publisher would take someone to task as the intended audience is students, the fact that it is being streamed live for the public makes it borderline performance.

Digital Citizenship Simulation Resources
Social Media TestDrive is an interactive educational platform created by researchers in the Cornell University's Social Media Lab in collaboration with Common Sense Education. TestDrive looks and feels like a real social media site, but all the content on the site has been created for instructional purposes. Young people interact with the content through instructions that lead them to build new knowledge and skills, allowing them to practice important social media skills without worrying about negative consequences.
FYI: Social Media TestDrive packages up things nicely and neatly. After signing in, options exist to choose grade levels and view different lessons from a variety of sources.
Google's Be Internet Awesome, designed for grades 3-6, is another way to encourage learning about digital etiquette and safety.
