Snap settles with two teens during trial testing claims social media caused depression, eating disorders

Snap has reached a settlement with two teenagers during a trial involving claims that social media caused depression and eating disorders. This agreement ends the legal action against the Snapchat parent company regarding social media addiction. Jury selection had already commenced last week for the proceedings. These plaintiffs had previously settled similar legal disputes with Meta, TikTok, and Alphabet's YouTube, continuing a broader trend of litigation against Big Tech firms over user mental health impacts.
