Snapchat's failure to protect kids revealed in New Mexico lawsuit
Briefly

New Mexico's attorney general states that internal messages from Snapchat employees show a culture resistant to implementing safety measures against grooming and sextortion on minors' accounts.
Despite numerous user reports of dangerous behavior on Snapchat, such as grooming and sextortion, Snap employees reported that these concerns often went unaddressed, highlighting a systemic issue with the reporting process.
Snapchat's defense asserts that its platform has built-in safety guardrails designed to protect minors, but the ongoing complaints suggest a disconnect between internal practices and user safety.
'Sextortion' continues to be a major concern on Snapchat, as identified in the complaint, demonstrating the platform's lack of adequate responses to serious threats to its youngest users.
