Anapol Weiss Files Lawsuit Against Roblox Corporation, Discord Inc., and Snap Inc. Alleging Platforms Enabled Sexual Exploitation of Minor Anapol Weiss had filed a federal lawsuit against Roblox Corporation, Discord Inc., and Snap Inc. The plaintiff, a now 15 year old from North Carolina, was targeted across multiple platforms due to design features that allowed adults to identify and contact her. The complaint contends that design features across all three platforms created openings that allowed predators to identify and exploit a minor. According to the publicly filed complaint, the child was first approached on Roblox by an adult predator who used the platform’s communication tools to gain access to her. He then coerced her into sending sexually explicit images of herself on Discord. The complaint further describes how a second predator located her on Snapchat, where he ultimately drugged and sexually assaulted her multiple times. The complaint states that the abuse was a direct consequence of design choices that allowed adults to easily identify, contact, and manipulate children across multiple platforms. The companies publicly promoted their platforms as safe for young users while declining to implement basic, widely available protections. Instead, the complaint asserts, each platform incorporated features that enabled adult–minor contact and prioritized user growth and engagement over the safety of children. A common pattern is highlighted across the platforms: permissive communication tools, ineffective age-verification, and features that connect minors with unknown adults. Internal concerns about safety, the complaint claims, were overshadowed by business considerations, including the potential impact of stronger protections on user engagement and growth. The complaint describes profound and lasting harm to the minor, including severe psychological trauma, and the need for ongoing medical and therapeutic care. This lawsuit is part of a broader effort by Anapol Weiss, which has filed 22 cases against these companies and serves in a leadership role in the centralized federal litigation—now comprising well over 100 filed cases—alleging that Roblox, Discord, and Snap enabled sexual exploitation of children through dangerous platform designs. Anapol Weiss has been at the forefront of litigation involving online child exploitation and represents individuals and families nationwide in cases involving corporate negligence and product safety. The firm was among the first in the nation to bring claims against major gaming platforms related to child safety and continues to play a leading role in these cases. Ankündigung • Feb 05

Amid a thriving box office and a theatrical industry slated for continued growth, entertainment marketers are navigating an environment where accountability and proven ROI are paramount, Samba TV's study shows how Snapchat delivers consistent results across streaming, linear, and theatrical campaigns, moving audiences from discovery to action. The study, analyzing 29 media and entertainment campaigns, found that Snapchat ads delivered both upper- and lower-funnel impact, from boosting viewership to sustaining ticket sales long after opening weekend. The findings arrive at a moment when marketers are rethinking media plans to capitalize on the box office resurgence and balance awareness with conversion.

The study identified Snapchat's Commercials and Story Ads performed strongest, driving 5x and 3x lift respectively. Among light TV viewers, a segment of viewers that watch low levels of traditional television who are increasingly challenging to reach, Snapchat achieved an average 99% lift in ticket sales. Samba TV's study also demonstrated that Snapchat's ad campaigns had staying power long after the exposure with continued incremental ticket sales more than 30 days after release, further underscoring Snapchat's role in sustaining momentum when maximizing returns in a strong box office environment matters most.

Every campaign in the study achieved statistically significant outcomes, proving that entertainment advertisers can rely on Snapchat to cut through crowded launch windows and fragmented media consumption habits.

Baron & Budd Represents California Counties in Public Nuisance Lawsuits Against Social Media Companies Baron & Budd filed public nuisance lawsuits against social media companies Meta, Snap, Google, YouTube, and TikTok. The lawsuits, filed on behalf of the people of the state of California in San Diego, Sacramento, and Del Norte Counties, allege that the defendant social media companies have created a public nuisance and health crisis among minors who have developed compulsive and addictive behaviors due to social media algorithms and user interface design intended to create repetitive uses. According to the lawsuit, the social media companies strategically and intentionally implemented behavioral and neurobiological techniques responsible for addictive behavior in the development of their platforms knowing that children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the addictive effects. The extensive complaint cites scientific research, including studies concealed by the defendants, that connect the intentional design of the platforms to the growing youth mental health crisis that is gripping the nation. The complaint alleges resulting effects of the addictive designs of the social media platforms have created extraordinary profits for the companies, but also caused alarming increases in anxiety, depression, and suicide rates for youths. The counties filing the lawsuits assert that the defendants’ conduct has created a public nuisance among the counties’ youth that requires abatement including but not limited to, funding for programs, services, and educational outreach. The lawsuits seek to hold the social media companies accountable for their role in creating or contributing to a public nuisance and enjoin them to stop their harmful actions while also seeking injunctive relief and abatement to fund education and addiction treatment. The cases were filed by the law firms Baron & Budd, Diab Chambers, Wagstaff & Cartmell, Beasley Allen, and Goza & Honnold. Ankündigung • Jan 08

Montgomery County Public Schools Joins Federal Lawsuit Against Meta, TikTok, Snap, YouTube, and Other Social Media Companies Frantz Law Group announced that the Montgomery County Public School District joined 500 school districts nationwide in a lawsuit filed in Federal District Court in San Francisco against Meta, TikTok, Snap, YouTube, and other social media companies. In the lawsuit the plaintiff school districts allege that these companies are knowingly causing emotional harm to children through their platforms. The lawsuit alleges that various social media companies have caused a mental and emotional health crisis marked by higher proportions of anxiety, depression, thoughts of self-harm, body dissatisfaction, disordered eating behaviors, and low self-esteem among children and students. Many are further subjected to often harmful, exploitative and addictive content that encourages disorderly behavior, unhealthy social comparison, and cyberbullying. This litigation seeks to provide the funding and staffing resources needed to mitigate the damage that school districts are currently encountering. In May of this year, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a new Advisory on Social Media and Youth Mental Health, in which he states, "…there is growing evidence that social media use is associated with harm to young people's mental health." The Advisory cites research finding that one-third or more of girls aged 11-15 say they feel "addicted" to certain social media platforms, that 46% of adolescents aged 13-17 said social media makes them feel worse, and that 64% of adolescents are "often" or "sometimes" exposed to hate-based content through social media. The Advisory also points to studies that show "a relationship between social media use and poor sleep quality, reduced sleep duration, sleep difficulties, and depression among youth." Moreover, in October 2021, former Meta employee Frances Haugen testified before Congress that Meta's own internal research indicated how harmful their products are to the mental health of child users and, in particular, teenage girls.
