Uthmeier takes legal action against Snapchat
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has announced legal action against Snap Inc., the operator of the popular Snapchat social media company.
In the lawsuit, Uthmeier’s office claims the company knowingly and willingly breaking Florida statute, enshrined in last year’s HB3, and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
“We take the safety and security of children very seriously, and as part of our mission to make Florida the best place to raise a family, we are holding social media platforms that harm children accountable,” Uthmeier said. “Snap is deceiving Florida parents about the dangers children face on the app, from behavioral addictive features to allowing sexual predators and drug dealers access, and we cannot allow this deception to continue.”
