Meta agreed to settle with the Breathitt County School District, which had sued the company (along with Snap, YouTube and TikTok) alleging that platform design choices promoted addiction and harmed students’ mental health; the district sought funding to address resulting mental health and academic issues. The settlement amount with Meta was not disclosed; similar cases have resulted in jury verdicts against Meta in other U.S. courts.
