Living in Seattle is the cause. Not the platforms.

It all stems from government. The social media apps are just the pawns

Parents should sue Seattle Public Schools for Marxist indoctrination

Yes. Please. This is the best news ever.

LMAO couldn't be the poor teachings at the woke schools in our state or the forced poison jabs .

SPS might spend their money better by suing the destructive teachers union. The union failed the students miserably.

Lmfaooo

So kids are the new accessory for adults nowadays?! They can’t be bothered with actually adulting and taking responsibility for the lack of parenting. So they blame the vary thing they buy for their kids & place it in their hands & allow them to download such things. typical

nothing like lack of responsibility ... but thats what the woke gets you, absolute insanity.

Not sure how this one will play out. It’s like suing Ford for DUIs.

Waste of taxpayer money

Does this open the door to holding teachers accountable?

Seattle schools sue tech giants including TikTok, Meta over youth mental health crisisSeattle Public Schools is suing social media companies including TikTok and Meta, saying the tech giants' 'misconduct has been a substantial factor in causing a youth mental health crisis.' It can’t be bad parenting or leftist teachers pushing queer gender ideology. This is true, but closing schools and making kids wear masks forever was just as big a factor. More schools need to do the same. The lack of regulation for the most impressionable (kids) needs to be under scrutiny. In addition to the open radicalization of social media users.
