Pennsylvania attorney general accuses Snapchat of failing to protect children in new lawsuit

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday (R) announced a lawsuit Tuesday, accusing Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, of failing to protect children from compulsively using its platform. The complaint, filed this week, alleges Snapchat knowingly lies about the frequency of adult-themed material like drug use or sex

“Both of these actions reflect my priority as attorney general to protect our young people from tech giants who are choosing growth at all costs over the mental wellness of its users,” Sunday said.

California’s attorney general called off a Monday meeting with Paramount Skydance to discuss a potential settlement of the state’s antitrust lawsuit.
