Meta settles claims with second plaintiff in social media addiction case
Meta on Friday reached a settlement with a teen plaintiff, identified in court documents as K.D.B., who claimed the company’s platforms, Instagram and Facebook, were addictive and caused her mental health problems, attorneys for the plaintiff said.
The news comes just one day after the tech giant reached a settlement with S.J., the second teen plaintiff who had sued the company over similar claims. The terms of the settlement agreements with both plaintiffs are confidential.
In the weeks leading up to trial, TikTok and YouTube reached agreements to resolve the claims brought against them by both S.J. and K.D.B.
