Snap Settles 2nd Minor Addiction Lawsuit, Leaving Meta Alone for Jury Trial
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 22
Summary
Snap reached a tentative settlement before trial in the second case alleging major social media platforms are addictive to minors.
Terms were not disclosed, but the deal removes Snap from the Los Angeles courtroom and leaves Meta Platforms as the only defendant set to face a jury next week.
YouTube and TikTok had already settled with the same plaintiff, identified as R.K.C., narrowing the closely watched case to Meta alone.
The litigation is part of a broader push to hold social media companies liable for alleged harms to children tied to addictive platform design.
