New Mexico Sues Snapchat Over Child Sexual Exploitation Allegations

The lawsuit claims Snapchat's design features facilitate the sharing of child sexual abuse material and sextortion schemes.

Attorney General Raúl Torrez alleges Snapchat misleads users about the permanence of shared content.
An undercover investigation found over 10,000 records related to child sexual abuse material on Snapchat in the last year.
Predators reportedly use Snapchat's disappearing messages to target and extort minors.
The lawsuit follows a similar case against Meta for failing to protect minors on its platforms.
Snapchat is accused of prioritizing profits over children's safety despite substantial investments in safety measures.
