Washington Schools File Lawsuit Regarding Social Media Damage

According to the lawsuit, the proportion of Seattle Public Schools students who reported feeling “so depressed or hopeless practically every day for two weeks or more in a row” that they stopped doing several common activities increased by an average of 30% from 2009 to 2019.

The school district is requesting that the court issue a cease-and-desist order, award damages, and make the firms pay for treatment and preventative programmes for people who use social media in an unhealthy or excessive way.

It’s unclear if any other school districts have lodged a complaint similar to Seattle’s, despite the fact that hundreds of families are suing the businesses over alleged harms social media has caused to their children.
