Why families are taking action
Snapchat's design has been linked to the sexual exploitation of minors across the United States.
Lawsuits and criminal cases allege that Snapchat's disappearing messages, "Quick Add" recommendations, and limited parental controls have allowed predators to contact, groom, and exploit children — and that internal reports of 10,000 sextortion complaints per month went unaddressed.
