Artificial Intelligence - Data Privacy & Security - Snap - State of West Virginia - litigation over children safety, AI chatbot (US)

Snap is facing a lawsuit filed by West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey in state court alleging the company deceived West Virginia parents and children about the safety of its platform while knowing it exposed young users to sexual exploitation, harmful content and compulsive-use design. The consumer protection lawsuit also alleges that Snap rushed the launch of its "My AI" chatbot to children without adequate safety testing and misled families about what the chatbot does with their private conversations and location.
