"Snap is the latest big tech company to settle a lawsuit that claimed social media platforms are harmful to children and young adults. The company has reached a “tentative” agreement in a case that was set to go to trial later this month.

TikTok recently settled its portion of the case with the plaintiff, known by the initials “R.K.C.,” ahead of a jury trial that starts next week in Los Angeles.

YouTube has also reached a deal, leaving Meta as the only remaining defendant."

Doesn't the fact that it's all settlements mean, that there is nothing coming out of it except some pocket change for the one suing? It would need to reach an actual ruling to have precedential effect, right?
