Four Ontario school boards are suing Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, alleging that the social media platforms disrupt student learning. The school boards claim the companies have negligently designed their platforms for compulsive use, rewiring the way children think, behave, and learn, which leads to significant strains on their resources. The lawsuits seek damages for additional needs for in-school mental health programming, personnel, increased IT costs, and administrative resources.
