Social media companies are settling many lawsuits about children. These lawsuits say social media hurts kids' mental health.

A small school in Kentucky had the first trial case. This trial helped both sides test their arguments in court.

Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube all settled with the school. We do not know how much money these companies paid.

The school district wanted over sixty million dollars. This money was for a plan to help students' mental health.

Many more schools still have their own similar lawsuits. Social media companies have lost other cases earlier this year.
