Meta and Snap return to LA court in social media addiction lawsuit

Meta and Snap, the company behind Snapchat, are returning to court in Los Angeles this week for a trial concerning allegations that their social media platforms were intentionally designed to be addictive for young users, The Hill reported.

The case, which involves two teenage plaintiffs, is set to begin jury selection on Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to The Hill.

The lawsuit claims that the design of these platforms targets young users to foster addictive behaviors, a central issue in the trial.

This legal proceeding is part of ongoing scrutiny of social media companies regarding their impact on youth and user well-being.
