Snap settles bellwether teen social-media harm case

Snap settled a bellwether lawsuit brought by two young people who said Snapchat’s design encouraged compulsive use and contributed to mental-health problems, avoiding a Los Angeles trial; settlement terms were not disclosed. Meta, TikTok and YouTube had also settled the plaintiffs’ claims, while the companies deny designing their platforms to addict young users and broader litigation continues.
