Montgomery County Public Schools is joining hundreds of school systems around the country in a lawsuit against social media companies that are behind Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and other websites, arguing that social media has fueled a youth mental health crisis. The school system — which is Maryland’s largest with over 160,000 students — joins roughly 500 districts already signed onto the suit, according to the Frantz Law Firm, which announced Montgomery’s involvement in a news release Tuesday.
