TL;DR

Snap has settled a social-media addiction lawsuit just days before the Los Angeles trial; terms were not disclosed, and other defendants Meta, TikTok, and YouTube have not settled and will face trial. The plaintiff alleges the platforms’ algorithmic design fostered addiction and harmed mental health. Jury selection for the remaining defendants is set for January 27, with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expected to testify. Snap remains a defendant in other consolidated cases challenging platform liability under Section 230.
