Snapchat settles to dodge next US addiction lawsuit
Original: Suchtgefahr: Snapchat bremst nächsten US-Prozess durch Vergleich aus Tausende US-Familien haben Betreiber Sozialer Netze
Snapchat has reached a settlement in the United States, allowing the company to avoid the next court ruling in a wave of lawsuits brought by thousands of American families. The families accuse social media operators of designing their products so that children become addicted. By settling, Snapchat avoids potentially damaging judgments, while broader legal action against social networks over youth addiction continues.
Why now: Snapchat's settlement in a high-profile addiction lawsuit is fresh news about the wider legal battle between US families and social media companies over harm to children.
