Canadian school boards sue social media giants over effects on students
Quick Glance: Ontario School Boards Sue Social Media Giants
  • Four of Ontario’s largest school boards are suing the parent companies of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, alleging disruptions to student learning and contributions to a mental health crisis.

  • The lawsuits claim that the social media platforms are negligently designed for compulsive use and have rewired children's thinking, behavior, and learning, causing strains on school boards' resources.

  • The boards seek damages exceeding $4 billion for the impact on student programming and services. They accuse the platforms of facilitating child abuse, amplifying harmful content, and refusing to remove threats.

  • Schools have invested resources in addressing cyberbullying, misinformation, and risky behavior encouraged by social media, as well as monitoring and responding to threats, conflicts, and decreased instructional time.
