School boards take legal action against social media giants over youth mental health concerns.

A California school board has filed a lawsuit against social media giants including TikTok, Snap, and Google, alleging that they have created a "destructive environment for children" and contributed to a growing mental health crisis among the youth. The suit claims that the companies use artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver harmful content to children and have knowingly created an "unprecedented mental health crisis" in pursuit of profit. The lawsuit is asking a court to force the companies to curtail their conduct and pay for county schools to address the alleged mental health crisis involving children.
