Seattle public schools blame tech giants for social media harm, Reuters says

Seattle’s public school district filed a lawsuit against Big Tech claiming that the companies were responsible for a worsening mental health crisis among students and directly affected the schools’ ability to carry out their educational mission, according to Reuters. The complaint, filed on Friday against Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META), Snap (SNAP), and TikTok-owner ByteDance with the U.S. District Court, claimed they purposefully designed their products to hook young people to their platforms and were creating a mental health crisis, the publication says.
