Meta reached a confidential settlement with a Kentucky school district over claims its platforms are designed to be addictive and harm students, part of a broader MDL with about 1,200 districts against Meta, TikTok, Snap and YouTube.

Earlier rulings in Los Angeles and New Mexico found Meta and YouTube liable for harm to youths, underscoring the wave of legal actions targeting social-media design.
