Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, has recently settled a social media addiction lawsuit just days before the trial was set to begin. This development comes amidst growing concerns about the impact of social media platforms on mental health and well-being, particularly among young users. The lawsuit, which was filed by a 19-year-old woman identified as K.G.M., alleged that the algorithmic design of platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, and Meta (formerly Facebook) contributed to her addiction and negatively affected her mental health.
