The complaint is similar to a first-of-its-kind suit filed in January by the Seattle public school district which alleges the firms designed their platforms to be addictive and to deliver harmful content to adolescents and teens. San Mateo’s board of education says it’s directing “unprecedented resources” to kids damaged by excessive screen time, diverting money from traditional teaching goals to address psychological problems, including rising suicide rates, as per the complaint.
Antigone Davis, Meta’s global head of safety, said the company wants teens to be safe online and offers over 30 safety tools for kids and families, including supervision and age verification technology.
