How does "power of attorney" have any relevance here?
The argument is simply that the school district has suffered damages from specific behavior by the social media companies, that has nothing to with an ability to make decisions on the student's behalf.
- tomsthumb 4y ago>How does “power of attorney” have any relevance here? It doesn’t and that’s Earl’s point. That would be the best way for them to have any standing, but it just doesn’t line up.
- EarlKing 4y agoIt wasn't, actually. I made that comment before I read the complaint. The statutory basis of their complaint is that Facebook constitutes some specie of nuisance, hence my later comment that even if we took their factual assertions at face value the charge asserted should be void for vagueness.
- EarlKing 4y agoHaving read the complaint, no, it doesn't have relevance here (obviously I made that claim prior to reading the complaint), but what they do assert is even worse: They're trying to claim that use of Facebook, Tiktok, etc and consequent behavioral issues among students constitutes a nuisance. The phrase "void for vagueness" would seem to apply here.
