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.
Agreed. That lawsuit sounds frivolous. I could maybe see a legitimate lawsuit for something like Linkedin Learning if they were saying that they didn't need those venues of learning. But what you're describing seems pretty ridiculous.
