A Florida teenager who sued Meta, blaming its platforms for his depression and anxiety, has dropped his case just days before the trial in Los Angeles was set to begin. The lawsuit initially included Google’s YouTube, Meta’s Instagram, Snap’s Snapchat, and ByteDance’s TikTok, but YouTube and TikTok settled earlier, and Snap reached a tentative settlement recently. The teen, known as R.K.C., claimed addiction to social media starting at age 8 led to his mental health issues. His attorneys said he chose to withdraw the claims to avoid a lengthy trial and focus on recovery. Meta stated no payment was made and emphasized their stance against baseless lawsuits.
