A U.S. teenager identified as R.K.C. drops his claims against Meta in a lawsuit alleging harm to his mental health, according to court filings reported by multiple outlets. The teen says he began using social media at around age 8 and later became addicted to the platform. He alleges that the use caused him to lose sleep and contributed to depression and anxiety. Both reports state that he withdraws or abandons his claims shortly before a scheduled trial, with the New York Post characterizing it as happening days before the trial. The reports focus on the substance of the original allegations—addiction-like use and resulting sleep disruption and mental health symptoms—while providing limited additional detail about why the claims are dropped or what the procedural status becomes afterward. The updates indicate the lawsuit does not proceed on the claims as originally filed, but the outlets do not describe any settlement terms or replacement claims in the available summaries.
