Three Alabama school districts are suing Meta, TikTok, YouTube and Snapchat, alleging that the social media companies have created a “youth mental health crisis.”
In a complaint filed on Tuesday in California state court, lawyers representing Baldwin County, Montgomery and Tuscaloosa City school systems called the platforms “unreasonably dangerous” and “addictive” products that are increasingly causing students to perform poorly in school.
The lawsuit, Baldwin County Public Schools v. Meta Platforms, is the latest to join a swath of social media litigation taking part in California, where the companies are based. “The harm created by social media companies has strained already limited school resources as educators attempt to combat the widespread problems caused by social media addiction,” Beasley Allen attorney Joseph VanZandt, who represents the Alabama districts, said in a news release Wednesday.
