The families of four teenagers who died by suicide are suing Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, alleging that their platforms caused severe addiction and mental health issues that led to their deaths. The lawsuit, filed in Delaware Superior Court, represents families from Texas, North Carolina, Minnesota and Tennessee. The four teens – Livi Castro (13), Riv Kelleher (14), Nathaniel Chambers (17) and Dawson Holden (18) – allegedly suffered from social media addiction, severe sleep deprivation, depression and suicidal ideation.
