Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland has become the latest U.S. school district to sue Meta and TikTok.
Maryland Public Schools Sue TikTok and Meta Over ‘Addictive’ PlatformsPrince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland has become the latest U.S. school district to sue Meta and TikTok for allegedly contributing to the mental health crisis among young people in recent months.
The lawsuit claims that the social media companies designed the platforms without fully understanding the consequences on children’s mental health. The lawsuit mentions the rise in eating disorders, depression, and suicidal ideations among teenagers. “Our primary goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of our children, allowing them to learn and receive the highest quality education possible,” Judy Mickens-Murray, the Prince George’s County Public Schools board chair says“Unfortunately, students in our district and throughout the nation are confronting unparalleled mental health and learning challenges caused by their addiction to social media, intensified by detrimental algorithms and features.
The lawsuit does not specify the amounts of damages, it does seek compensation for the financial burden incurred by the county as it provides more mental health services. The county is also asking a jury to award punitive damages.
