NYC sues Meta, Google, Snap, TikTok over addictive social media harming youth mental health and safety.
New York City has filed a 327-page federal lawsuit against Meta, Google, Snap, and TikTok, accusing them of designing addictive social media platforms that exploit children’s psychology to drive engagement and profit.
The city claims the platforms contribute to a youth mental health crisis, with 77.3% of high school students spending three or more hours daily on screens, leading to sleep loss, school absences, and dangerous behaviors like subway surfing, which has caused at least 16 deaths since 2023, including two children in October 2025.
The lawsuit alleges gross negligence and public nuisance, seeking billions in damages and demanding changes to protect minors.
The city withdrew from prior state litigation to join a broader national effort involving nearly 2,050 similar cases.
Google denies the allegations, calling YouTube a streaming service, while other defendants have not responded.
