The Seattle Public School District is suing TikTok, YouTube, and other social media apps for affecting the mental health of their students.
, Seattle Public Schools are suing several social media and streaming content apps claiming that they"successfully exploited the vulnerable brains of youth" in order to generate profits. And in return, the suit says that these apps used psychological methods to harm students' mental health. The apps named in the lawsuit include TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Snap, and Instagram. Their parent companies are also defendants.
The suit goes on to say that the aforementioned mental health crisis was a byproduct of the defendants seeking to achieve the largest profits possible."Their business models are based on advertisements," says the suit."The more time users spend on their platforms, the more ads Defendants can sell." The suit also criticizes the content that these apps disseminate and mention as an examples a"corpse bride" diet that limits caloric intake to only 300 calories a day. The average male should consume 2,000 to 3,000 calories a day while the average female should take in 1,600 to 2,000 calories a day. The Plaintiffs also accuse these apps of promoting"self harm.
