Group of Ontario school boards says lawsuits against social-media giants can proceed
March 11, 2025
A group of Ontario school boards mounting a legal fight against Meta, Snapchat and TikTok says a judge has dismissed the social-media giants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuits.Since March, 2024, 14 Ontario school boards and individual schools have initiated suits against the social-media companies, alleging the platforms are negligently designed for compulsive use and have rewired the way children think, behave and learn.Schools for Social Media Change, the group of plaintiffs, says the court’s denial of the tech giants’ motion for dismissal means the case can proceed to trial.
