The big social media addiction lawsuit against Meta is officially off the table after the plaintiff walked away, leaving Meta unscathed and no settlement in sight. Once seen as a bellwether case that could reshape how platforms design addictive features like infinite scroll, this high-profile suit — originally filed by a teen claiming platforms hooked him — now fizzles out. Snap and YouTube had already settled, but Meta’s defense, which argued the teen barely used the apps and most accounts were created post-lawyer, may now be seen as a victory. The case, part of a broader wave of lawsuits from teens, schools, and states, could have set major legal precedents — but for now, it’s over without a verdict or payout.
