Snap (SNAP), ByteDance's TikTok, and Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) YouTube have reached deals to settle a lawsuit filed by a Kentucky school district over social media addiction claims, news outlets reported Friday, citing court filings.

The Breathitt County School District claimed that addiction to social media has disrupted learning and led public schools to spend substantially on mental health crisis prevention, the reports said.

The school district is seeking to recover the costs related to this matter, according to the news outlets.

No details were reported on the settlement deals.

Meta Platforms (META) is still set to face the upcoming trial in June over the social media addiction claims, the reports added.

Snap, Alphabet, ByteDance, and Meta Platforms did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comments.
