西弗吉尼亚州总检察长起诉 Snap 指控其误导家庭、漠视儿童安全
西弗吉尼亚州总检察长 JB McCuskey 11月5日在卡诺瓦县巡回法院起诉 Snapchat 母公司 Snap Inc.，指控其在明知平台让未成年人面临性剥削、有害内容与成瘾性设计的情况下，仍向家长和儿童宣传平台「安全」，构成对消费者的误导。
诉状还指控 Snap 在未经充分安全测试的情况下，匆忙向包括未成年人在内的所有用户推出「My AI」聊天机器人，并就该机器人如何处理私人对话与位置信息误导家庭。起诉发生在 Nitro 高中15岁学生 Bryce Tate 遇害一周年的前一天：2025年11月6日，他在 Snapchat 上遭遇性勒索（sextortion）后数小时内身亡。州方同时宣布与 Bryce Tate 纪念基金会合作开展性勒索防范教育。总检察长办公室寻求禁令、民事罚款与法院命令的安全整改。

West Virginia attorney general sues Snap over child safety, My AI chatbot
West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey filed suit on November 5 in Kanawha County Circuit Court against Snap Inc., the maker of Snapchat, alleging the company deceived parents and children about the platform's safety while knowing it exposed young users to sexual exploitation, harmful content and compulsive-use design.
The consumer protection lawsuit also alleges Snap rushed its 'My AI' chatbot to all users, including minors, without adequate safety testing, and misled families about what the chatbot does with private conversations and location data. The suit was filed a day before the first anniversary of the death of Bryce Tate, a 15-year-old Nitro High School student who was targeted in a sextortion scheme on Snapchat on November 6, 2025, and died hours later. The state also announced a sextortion education campaign with the Bryce Tate Memorial Foundation. The attorney general seeks an injunction, civil penalties and court-ordered safety changes.
