Snapchat is a social media app used by many people. If you take a look at your 'stories' you'll watch people hang out with their friends, people talking about how bad their day has been, and you may even have a few celebrities on there.
However as of recent, the app has come under fire after a group of children have decided to sue the company.
Infamous lawyer Mark Geragos – who has represented Michael Jackson in the past – filed a lawsuit against the company after claiming the new feature Snapchat Discover has topics that are too inappropriate for all users.
The lawyer gave four examples of some topics that have featured:
-
Things he thinks when he can't make you orgasm
-
I got high, blown, and robbed when I was a pizza delivery guy
-
23 pictures that are too real if you've ever had sex with a penis
-
What it is really like to let people finger you in public
Which are, quite frankly, definitely far too inappropriate for children.
This isn't the first time the app has come under fire, in the past people were not happy with the filter available to use on National Weed Day.
The lawsuit seeks a $50k penalty for each violation of the Communications Decency Act, and it also wants Snapchat to warn parents and children of the graphic content.
However a representative of Snapchat recently told TMZ: "We are sorry if people were offended.
"Our Discover partners have editorial independence, which is something that we support."
