Snap, YouTube Settle School Social Media Suit Ahead of Trial

Google’s YouTube and Snap Inc. reached agreements to settle the first lawsuit headed to trial over claims that addiction to top social media platforms has disrupted learning and pushed public schools to spend massive sums fighting a mental health crisis, according to court filings.

TikTok and Meta Platforms Inc. were also sued by the rural Kentucky school district that brought the case, which is set to go to trial on June 12 in federal court in Oakland, California.
