So, 5 Ontario school boards and 2 private schools here are joining a lawsuit against Meta, Snapchat and Tik Tok for disrupting the education system and learning institutions due to their apps. I'm completely aligned to social media apps having negative impacts on everyone who use them excessively, but for me, when does responsibility fall on the user and their guardians (including the schools, when they are responsible for the children)? For parents, limit the usage of your kids. For both parents and educators, set up blackout times at home/school. I'm not defending these social media platforms, but it seems like we're blaming the wrong people in this case.
