A day after Snap reached a tentative settlement with the plaintiff in a social media addiction lawsuit, leaving Meta as the only remaining defendant, the case was dropped. In a statement, Meta said the plaintiff decided to drop his case against Meta without receiving any payment.

TikTok and Google’s YouTube had previously reached settlement agreements with the plaintiff. (Snap on Tuesday confirmed that a tentative agreement had been reached.)

The lead jury trial was scheduled to begin next week in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.

The plaintiff, a Florida teenager known by the initials “RKC,” had sued social media companies for creating addictive platforms. It was one of thousands of similar lawsuits from teens, schools and state attorneys general who had accused big tech companies of knowingly creating addictive platforms.

The precedent that this lawsuit and others would have set could have impacted the way companies build their apps, known for features that keep people interested, like infinite scrolling and their continuous buzz of notifications.

The plaintiff’s decision to drop the case follows Meta’s loss in a case in New Mexico earlier this year, which marked his first court defeat over social media damages. Meta was ordered to pay $375 million in fines after the company was found to have misled consumers about the safety of its platforms and endangered children.

In March, a Los Angeles jury also handed Meta and Google another defeat, awarding the defendant in that case about $6 million in damages.

Meta had been prepared to argue that the plaintiff in this case had allegedly only used Facebook and Instagram accounts for an average of minutes per day, and planned to claim that most of his accounts had been created after he hired a lawyer.

In its statement, Meta said that “this result makes clear that we will not stop defending ourselves against unfounded lawsuits.”
