TikTok agreed to settle a lawsuit that alleged major social media platforms deliberately design their products to be addictive and harmful to users. Snap, another named defendant, reached a settlement the previous week. The litigation centers on a 19-year-old plaintiff identified by the initials K.G.M., who claims targeted harms tied to platform design. The legal claims focus on features and algorithms that allegedly increase engagement while producing negative user outcomes. The settlements conclude the named defendants' exposure in the specific case brought by the plaintiff and remove those parties from ongoing litigation on these claims.
