SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Public School District has filed a novel lawsuit against the tech giants behind TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat to hold them accountable for the mental health crisis among youth. Seattle Public Schools filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Friday. The 91-page complaint says the social media companies have created a public nuisance by targeting their products at children. It blames them for deteriorating mental health and behavioral disorders, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and cyberbullying; impeding the education of students; and forcing schools to take actions such as hiring additional mental health professionals, developing lesson plans on the impact of social media, and providing additional training for teachers.
