LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – According to an agenda posted online, On Thursday the Clark County School District board of trustees will discuss whether to retain a law firm to sue Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snapchat.
Other companies singled out in the board’s agenda are Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, and Youtube, a company Google owns.
The board of trustees’ action to file the lawsuit will appear during its consent agenda. This means board members won’t discuss the item unless a trustee decides it should be debated.
The district’s agenda didn’t state why CCSD was considering filing such a lawsuit. Yet other school systems across the country, including Seattle, have sued social media companies accusing them of having a negative impact on children.
