The ruling by US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers allows several school districts to pursue lawsuits against major tech companies, attributing student mental health issues to their addictive apps.
Rogers's decision denotes a significant legal distinction, possibly leaving platforms like Meta, TikTok, and Google liable for damages related to the mental health crisis among students.
Despite significant legal challenges, tech companies assert that they are implementing measures to ensure the safety and well-being of young users on their platforms.
The outcome of these lawsuits could set a precedent in how school districts can seek damages from tech companies regarding the effects of social media on youth.
