15-Year-Old Drops Lawsuit Against Meta, Google, and Snap
A 15-year-old from New Jersey has dropped a lawsuit against Meta, Google, and Snap approximately seven weeks before the trial was set to begin. The teenager’s attorney said the decision was related to the teen’s desire to move on with a normal life. The lawsuit was one of thousands of cases alleging that social media platforms were designed with features that cause addiction among underage users. The teenager’s case, identified as P.M-Y., had been selected as one of three key test cases scheduled to go to trial in California in October.
TikTok had previously settled its portion of the case. Meta, Google, and Snap said no payment had been made to the teenager in exchange for dropping the lawsuit. The teenager’s attorney said the client had filed the lawsuit to hold the technology companies accountable but later decided to withdraw the remaining claims to move on with life.
