Overview: The Bayonne School Board has decided to join a nationwide lawsuit against major social media companies, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube, alleging that their platforms cause harm to students. The lawsuit accuses these companies of using manipulative algorithms that result in addiction and emotional distress among students, negatively impacting their education. This decision, which incurs no cost for the school district, aligns with efforts from over 500 other school districts across the country. The Board believes that joining the lawsuit will support a broader initiative to address the mental health challenges posed by social media, as highlighted by reports from the Surgeon General and various child health organizations.
