I don’t disagree with the premise of their suit but how is the school district the injured party here?

The way I’ve seen it argued elsewhere is that the social media has caused a mental health crisis among youth that have made it difficult to continue to teach kids. They cited not just the rise in depression and anxiety but social media’s role in cyber bullying which can cause direct classroom safety issues.
