New York City sues social media companies over youth mental health
New York City has sued Meta, Google, TikTok and Snapchat, alleging their platforms intentionally hook children and fuel a youth mental-health crisis. The 327-page federal complaint claims gross negligence and public nuisance, citing heavy screen time, sleep loss and absenteeism. Google says YouTube is a streaming service, not a social network. Other firms haven't yet responded.
