"When a school district sues social media companies claiming they can’t educate
kids because Instagram filters exist, that district is announcing to the world
that it has fundamentally failed at its core mission. That’s exactly what New
York City just did with its latest lawsuit against Meta, TikTok, and other
platforms.
The message is unmistakable: “We run the largest school system in America with
nearly a million students, but we’re unable to teach children that filtered
photos aren’t real or help them develop the critical thinking skills needed to
navigate the modern world. So we’re suing someone else to fix our
incompetence.”
This is what institutional failure looks like in 2025."
