New Mexico AG sues Snapchat for alleged inadequate protection against online dangers for young users.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has filed a lawsuit against Snapchat, claiming the platform misleads young users and neglects to address online dangers like sextortion and child grooming. The lawsuit alleges Snapchat ignored internal warnings and allowed features like "Quick Add" to facilitate adult-minor interactions. Snap counters that they actively remove harmful users and collaborate with law enforcement to enhance safety. The case raises questions about social media's duty to protect minors online.
