New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against Snap, the owner of Snapchat, alleging that the app facilitates the sexual exploitation of minors. The lawsuit claims that Snapchat's design, which includes disappearing messages, makes it attractive for predators. The state argues that Snap has misled the public about the safety of its platform, despite internal research showing young users frequently encounter harmful content. The lawsuit is part of a broader effort to address online child sexual abuse material.
