What happened
Seattle Public Schools became the first U.S. school district to sue the operators of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and YouTube, alleging the companies' platforms contributed to a youth mental-health crisis by recommending harmful content such as pro-eating-disorder material. The complaint frames the claim around the companies' own design conduct to avoid Section 230 immunity, and was later folded into the broader social-media litigation.
