TL;DR
- New York City has filed a lawsuit against tech giants, like Meta, Google, Snapchat, and TikTok.
- The lawsuit alleges that social media platforms are fueling a mental health crisis among children.
- Google denies the allegations.
A lot of good can be done with the help of social media, such as raising awareness for a cause. At the same time, there’s a darker side that can cause harm. Regardless of whether social media is a net positive or negative, New York City has had enough. The city, along with its school districts and health department, is now suing the tech giants that run these platforms.
