Snap settles teens' lawsuit alleging addictive design and mental health harms
Snap's deal avoids a trial in which CEO Evan Spiegel was expected to testify; settlement terms were not disclosed.
TLDR
Two teenagers alleged Snapchat was designed to be addictive and contributed to their depression, anxiety and eating disorders. They attributed compulsive social media use to features such as autoplay and infinite scrolling, and had previously settled with Meta, TikTok and YouTube. Snap still faces other social media addiction lawsuits.
