Meta won’t have to face the next planned social media addiction trial
The plaintiff in a social media addiction case against Meta withdrew the lawsuit less than a week before trial, allowing the company to avoid settlement payments. The case, brought by a 15-year-old from Florida, was part of a series of trials testing claims that social media platforms harm teens. Meta's spokesperson stated that the claims were baseless and emphasized the company's commitment to defending itself in ongoing litigation involving other social media companies.
