Court ends San Diego, other schools’ social media ‘addiction’ ‘nuisance’ suits

(Legal Newsline) — Neither San Diego's public schools nor three other public school districts from elsewhere in the U.S. should be able to continue with their lawsuits demanding social media companies pay for allegedly causing "public nuisances" by allegedly harming the mental health of children and teens, and, in turn, allegedly placing a heavier burden on public educators, a California state appeals panel has ruled.
