Meta has reached a settlement with the Breathitt County School District in Kentucky, ending a lawsuit accusing the company of causing social media addiction among teenagers. The case was part of a larger group of over 1,200 similar lawsuits consolidated in California federal court. Meta's settlement follows recent legal losses and comes as the company faces more than 2,400 ongoing lawsuits related to social media harms. The trial was set to begin on June 15 but will no longer proceed, while other defendants like YouTube, Snap, and TikTok have also settled. Meta continues to focus on safety features and parental controls amid ongoing legal challenges.
