Same pattern as TikTok (this same tab): Snap has settled youth-safety bellwether cases just before trial, both in a state personal-injury case (early 2026) and a federal school-district case (May 2026), avoiding the kind of public verdict that would force its internal practices into the open.

Terms

Arbitration

Standard binding arbitration + class action waiver expected (not independently confirmed word-for-word this pass).

Data sharing

Same youth-data-collection-without-parental-consent litigation category as Meta/TikTok; Snap settled before the first state-court (Los Angeles) personal-injury trial in early 2026 and again in May 2026 before the federal school-district bellwether (Breathitt County School District, Oakland), following the same 'early individual settlement' pattern as TikTok.
