Defendants’ misconduct has been a substantial factor in causing a youth mental health crisis, which has been marked by higher and higher proportions of youth struggling with anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm, and suicidal ideation. The rates at which children have struggled with mental health issues have climbed steadily since 2010 and by 2018 made suicide the second leading cause of death for youths.
Section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act means that online platforms aren't responsible for content posted by third parties. However, the lawsuit claims that the provision doesn't protect social media companies for recommending, distributing and promoting content"in a way that causes harm."
Seattle? Sue? Lol aren’t they liberal as fuck and are entitled to their social online bullshit?
love how parents can just screw off these days
Just sue them… it’s always someone else’s fault. After that sue the appstores for distribution and the phone producers for the possibility to have them on the phone’s. Don’t forget all content creators for creating addictive content
Sure, avoid taking responsability.
