The Lanier Law Firm Represents Arkansas Attorney General Against Snapchat Over Deliberately Engineered Predator Friendly Features
Lawsuit claims company exposes children to predators, addicts minors to its platform
The Lanier Law Firm is representing the State of Arkansas and Attorney General Tim Griffin in litigation against Snap Inc., alleging the Snapchat platform exposes Arkansas children to sexual predators and grooming while engineering powerful addiction in minors — all while assuring parents their children are safe.
The complaint characterizes Snap’s conduct as a deliberate business decision to maximize engagement in children at the direct expense of their safety and mental health.
“Snap built a platform designed to leave no fingerprints,” says the firm’s Mark Lanier. “Disappearing messages don’t disappear for the predator who already saved them — they disappear for the parent, the prosecutor and the jury. That’s not a privacy feature. That’s architecture designed to protect the predator, not the child.”
