A Florida teenager identified as RKC withdraws his lawsuit against Meta just days before a scheduled trial in Los Angeles, according to his attorneys. The case accused Meta’s Instagram of contributing to the teen’s depression and anxiety through allegedly addictive design features, with the complaint also naming YouTube (Google) and TikTok (ByteDance) as defendants. Earlier, those other platforms reached confidential settlements: YouTube and TikTok settled in June, and Snap (Snapchat) reached a tentative settlement reported by Bloomberg. The terms of the YouTube and TikTok settlements are not disclosed. A settlement process involving Snap is also described as ongoing or tentative. The withdrawal means Meta avoids the trial that had been set to begin shortly. The decision is presented as the case being dropped shortly before the court date, with the remaining claims and procedural posture not detailed further by the outlets. Overall, reporting across the sources indicates the plaintiff’s withdrawal comes after prior settlements involving other named defendants, leaving Meta as the main remaining defendant until the withdrawal.
