“Taxpayers should not bear the burden for the mental health crisis social media companies have created,” the district said.

Seattle is a tech hub, home to both Microsoft and Amazon — neither of which are plaintiffs. Meta, Snapchat and Google, which owns YouTube, have offices in Seattle, and some of the parents in the district are likely employees of companies being sued.

The social media companies have yet to respond, but Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly pushed back on the idea the company has a negative impact on people’s mental health. “The argument that we deliberately push content that makes people angry for profit is deeply illogical,” in 2021. “We make money from ads, and advertisers consistently tell us they don’t want their ads next to harmful or angry content. And I don’t know any tech company that sets out to build products that make people angry or depressed.”
