Surprised it isn't because they think social media doesn't do enough to ban "anti-LGBTQABCDEFG" content.

I pray this is the start to a successful lawsuit campaign.

Social media is awful for children as a babysitter, and information platform, and terribly uninformed group think.

Something in Seattle I can stand behind here, along with any ISDs that follow.

The 12thMF and Athletics dept suing TexAgs for any negative impact on recruiting and transfer troubles would be interesting

I have zero doubt that social media is terrible for kids, but it is 100% on the parents for allowing their kids access.

I wonder all the ways the Seattle school district is harming kids. I bet these guys live in glass houses.

Never mind the mental health effects from allowing homeless drug encampments on school property.

Most of their parents are addicted and use it almost as much as their kids. It been terrible for adults too.

As much as I agree, why should a school recieve any money. Maybe parents or the youth, but schools are not the victims.

i do not see parents "addicted" to social media apps so much as they are addicted to SMS/text messages.


Go ask your average adult who is on FB, Twitter, etc, and who will be honest, how often they are on those platforms? Do they get on them during the day time when they are supposed to be working? Do they get on in order to change the way they feel? Do any other areas of their life suffer as a result of prioritizing social media? I think you will find the number quite high and all are markers of addiction.

My son's mother is the epitome of "addicted" to social media.

Tobacco advertising, age gating for shows / movies / bars, lawn darts: there's tons of examples of courts finding companies liable for products which target and/or harm children.

What's most interesting is the depth of pockets and importance of this type of challenge. Very similar to tobacco companies who know they're designed to addict, that they can harm the user, and who have huge incentives to bury the harm.

Same, it's one of the reasons I told my ex it was time for her to go. I became a single parent, but it was like losing a 32 year old kid at the same time. Everything was easier without her.

100%? Government should do nearly nothing, but protecting kids from harmful material seems like something on the "do" list.

What was the district's CoVID policy?

Have they been feeding the kids depressing and hope crushing radical global warming and environmental rhetoric?

Do they encourage divisive identity politics as diversity and equity education?

Doors the district have very liberal trans and gender identity policies for the children?

Seems to me that social media isn't by no means the biggest threat to the mental health of the children,

And social media is responsible for the mediocrity that is our football, starting with the growing popularity of the ball point pen at the end of 1939.

The law allows parents to provide alcohol and tobacco to their minor children because parents are in charge of their kids. Do you really want a government that can ban an app that can only be utilized by buying a private industry product and downloading said app? It takes a password to download apps to a devise unless the parent allows their child to have an independent account
