According to the complaint, minors report having more online sexual interactions on Snapchat than any other platform, and more sex trafficking victims are recruited on Snapchat than on any other platform.Attorney General Raúl Torrez filed the lawsuit against Snap Inc.

In a statement, Snap said it shares Torrez’s and the public’s concerns about the online safety of young people. Prior to the lawsuit, New Mexico conducted a monthslong undercover investigation into child sexual abuse images on Snapchat.

This included information related to minors younger than 13 being sexually assaulted.
