Snapchat settles lawsuit over claims of addicting young users

Snapchat settled a lawsuit to avoid a trial accusing it of addicting young people to social media. The settlement with the Social Media Victims Law Center resolves a case that could have set a precedent for numerous other lawsuits against tech companies. The trial, originally scheduled to begin next week in Los Angeles, was considered a bellwether for litigation concerning social media's impact on youth mental health.
