Snap settles with two teens during jury selection in social media addiction case

Snap settled two teenagers’ social media addiction claims during jury selection in Los Angeles on Nov. 2, avoiding what was set to be its first teen-harm trial. The teens allege Snapchat’s design encouraged compulsive use and harmed their mental health; the companies reject claims they designed their platforms to addict young people. The terms of Snap’s agreement were undisclosed.
