Three Alabama school districts have filed lawsuits against the major social media platforms alleging them to have created a mental health crisis among children.
“The harm created by social media companies has strained already limited school resources as educators attempt to combat the widespread problems caused by social media addiction,” said Joseph VanZandt, co-lead counsel with the Beasley Allen law firm, one of the three firms suing the companies.
“These lawsuits make it clear to social media companies that they will face consequences for their conduct, not only from the adolescents they harmed but also from the people and institutions supporting our youth.”
