US teen drops lawsuit against Meta, Google and Snap ahead of trial
The plaintiff, a 15-year-old girl from New Jersey identified in California court records as P. M-Y., had alleged the platforms' owners - Meta Platforms, Google and Snap Inc - contributed to her social media addiction, depression and self-harm.
A 15-year-old girl from New Jersey, known as P.M-Y. in court records, has dropped her lawsuit against Meta, Google, and Snap Inc. regarding alleged social media addiction, depression, and self-harm, according to a court filing. P.M-Y. accused the platforms' owners of contributing to her issues, but the companies confirmed she dismissed her claims without any payment.
Her attorney, Emily Jeffcott, stated that her client chose this path to resume her life and resume holding social media companies accountable. Meta is currently defending itself in two trials over claims from 29 states, while Google and Snap cited positive changes to their safety measures. Two more similar cases involving teens are scheduled for trials in October.
