Snap has settled its U.S. social media trial just days after Meta's resolution, per France24.

The settlement comes amid increasing scrutiny of tech platforms' data practices and user privacy policies, as lawmakers push for stronger regulations across the industry.

Meanwhile, San Francisco is poised to double down on its gilded age, with local political shifts signaling a potential swing left in the U.S. midterms, according to Mission Local.
