AI Summary

Meta has settled a social‑media addiction lawsuit, allowing it to avoid a trial slated for next month. With Meta out, Snap remains the sole defendant in the case, which is among several high‑profile suits targeting platforms. The action was filed by an 18‑year‑old Mississippi resident identified as K.D.B., who told Reuters she spent hours scrolling, lost focus in class and engaged in self‑harm after viewing related videos. Jury selection for the trial began earlier this week in Los Angeles.
