Snap’s attorneys submitted an additional filing to argue that the platform stand outs among its peers in ways that diminish harmful influences on youths.Snapchat doesn’t feature “like counts” used to show positive reactions to content or “other public vanity metrics,” Snap said in its filing. And “far from encouraging minor users to create permanent content for public consumption,” messages called “Snaps” or “Chats” disappear shortly after they’re seen by users, the company said.When The Scrolling Doesn’t Stop: Social Media Lawsuits Pile UpEarlier in the litigation, Snap, ByteDance, and Google argued said they preferred to defend themselves separately from Meta because the bulk of the suits were brought against the Instagram owner. They argued it would be inefficient for them to be dragged into Meta’s fight. But a panel of federal judges decided to group all the cases together.The case is In Re. Social Media Adolescent Addiction and Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation, 22-MD-3047, US District Court, Northern District of California (Oakland).","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9944217476,"gmtCreate":1681868329596,"gmtModify":1681868333026,"author":{"id":"4108816210230400","authorId":"4108816210230400","name":"YJ Lee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4108816210230400","authorIdStr":"4108816210230400"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9944217476","repostId":2328242781,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":16,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
