Several Long Island school districts, including South Huntington, Kings Park, and Jericho, have filed a lawsuit against major social media platforms like Meta (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok, Snap, and Google. The lawsuit alleges that these platforms are addictive and harmful to students’ mental health, leading schools to spend significant resources to counter their negative effects. Snap responded by emphasizing its platform’s focus on direct communication among close friends and its design features aimed at promoting positive interactions. Responses from Meta, TikTok, and Google are awaited regarding the lawsuit.
