NYT report reveals how Meta, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube grabbed kids’ attention in school.

Internal documents, which were disclosed as part of a wave of child safety lawsuits filed by school districts across the US, showed: > Snapchat sent phone alerts to adolescents during school hours, urging them to share what was going on in their classrooms. > Meta paid “teen ambassadors” to promote Instagram and hand out swag to their friends at school. > TikTok gave the National PTA millions of dollars, in part to throw school events about online safety and provide favorable comments to journalists.
