Aug 20 (Reuters) - A teen girl whose lawsuit was a test case in litigation accusing social media companies of deliberately addicting young people and fueling a mental health crisis dropped her claims against the owners of Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat on Thursday, according to a court filing. The plaintiff, a 15-year-old girl from New Jersey identified in California court records as P. M-Y., had alleged the platforms' owners — Meta Platforms, Google and Snap Inc — contributed to her social media addiction, depression and self-harm. The companies said she dropped her claims without any payment. TikTok, which was also a defendant in her case, had previously settled her claims. Emily Jeffcott, an attorney for P.M-Y., said in a statement her client chose to dismiss the remainder of her claims out of a desire to resume her life. She "initiated this process with the

Her wife was just trying to help. No matter how long social media has been around, people still have their fair share of blooper posts—things that were never meant to be shared online but accidentally posted. But Kirsten (@lil_tachy) from Ohio told TikTok how her partner accidentally exposed her on Snapchat, all because she asked for her help with an injury. “I used to get anal fissures a lot,” Kirsten confessed on TikTok. These are tears and cracks in a person’s anal canal, causing bleeding and pain. Trauma can cause fissures, such as constipation and difficulties with poop. In Kirsten’s case, she explained that she ate a lot of fiber, causing her to have extremely soft stool. “My body doesn’t digest certain things very well, like nuts and seeds,” she further said. Even after going through her digestive tract, Kirsten said that these items come out the same way, causing her to suffer from fissures. Although she ate the right type of food, it seems that there is still too much of a good thing. While nuts contain important nutrients like fiber, this woman ate one too many from Sprouts, and it almost killed her. “And on top of that

France’s high court blocked a bill last Friday which would have banned children under 15 years old from accessing social media. The bill, which French legislators passed in a 279-81 vote on July 21, would have required platforms like Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat to prevent children under 15 from creating new accounts on September 1. Social media platforms would have had to exclude all users under 15 by January 2027. The country’s Constitutional Council struck down the proposed legislation on August 10, finding it violated citizens’ right to freedom of expression and failed to include adequate privacy protections. Though the court reportedly acknowledged the government’s legitimate interest in protecting children, it found the bill “infringes freedom of expression and communication in a manner that is not appropriate, necessary or proportionate .” Following the Council’s order, French President Emmanuel Macron ordered Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu to redraft the proposed ban.   “The objective pursued since 2017 by the head of the state on the protection of minors online remains unchanged: to protect the best interests and health of our children while the harmful effects of social networks on them are scientifically documented,” Macron’s office wrote in a statement Friday.
