Wow, this is interesting. Are Ontario school boards Tucker Carlson supporters? I don't know about now but years ago when I watched him from time to time on Fox he was definitely addressing his disdain for these social media sites and the harm they were doing to kids.
We will see where this leads. They should be interesting cases and we as a society are going to have to take a hard look in the mirror. We can't continue to raise societies of mushed brained citizens and leave them thrown to the wolves. It used to be the covert police in our communities destroying our young, now it is probably moreso social media and its outreach.
Four Ontario school boards have launched $4.5-billion in lawsuits against social media giants Snapchat, TikTok and Meta — which owns Facebook and Instagram — accusing them of deliberately hurting students, interfering with their learning and harming their mental health, leaving educators to “manage the fallout.”
