Meta settles with teen during trial testing claims social media caused depression, eating disorders
Meta Platforms settled with an 18-year-old Mississippi teen who accused the company of designing Instagram and Facebook to be addictive, causing mental health issues. The resolution occurred after jury selection began for a Los Angeles trial testing claims against Meta and Snap. The settlement leaves Snap as the sole defendant in the proceeding, which serves as a test case for thousands of similar lawsuits alleging social media addiction.
