Meta has escaped the second jury trial scheduled to begin in Los Angeles on 27 July over social media addiction claims. The process ended with the plaintiff withdrawing the lawsuit. This development comes just a few months after the first landmark decision during the January–March 2026 period, in which Meta and YouTube were fined a total of 6 million dollars.
While the exact reasons for withdrawing the lawsuit were not explained, a trend of similar cases being resolved before trial has been observed. In the previous first trial, the jury determined that social media features such as infinite scroll and notifications were a 'faulty design' that caused real harm to youth.
This withdrawal does not close the process; on the contrary, Meta awaits much larger trials. The lawsuit by school districts starting in Oakland in August and the federal lawsuits filed by more than 30 state attorneys general are ongoing. Additionally, the European Commission is conducting an investigation into the claim that Meta platforms contain an illegal addictive design that would violate the Digital Services Act (DSA).
