American technology company Snap Inc., Snapchat’s parent company, claims that New Mexico’s bombshell accusations about the company’s failure to protect children have it all backward. In a motion for dismissal, Snap says New Mexico’s Attorney General mischaracterized the company’s alleged shortcomings and committed a shoddy investigation.
While Torrez’ September lawsuit against Snap specifically discussed a failure to protect children from sextortion, sexual exploitation, and CSAM, a“This filing is further confirmation that Snapchat’s harmful design features create an environment that fosters sextortion, sexual abuse and unwanted contact from adults to minors,” Torrez said of the unredacted complaint. “It is disheartening to see that Snap employees have raised many red flags that have continued to be ignored by executives.
Snap says New Mexico set up a decoy account and then asked targeted accounts to send encrypted messages, not the other way around,New Mexico’s lawsuit alleges that its decoy account, “Heather,” was “suggested over 91 users,” including adults seeking sexually explicit content. Snap’s motion calls these allegations “patently false.
Beyond this purported constitutional protection, Snap adds that it cannot be required to make “subjective judgements about potential risks or harm and disclose them,” and further, “would have to do so with virtually no guidance about how to avoid liability in the future.”
