Snap Wants to be a State Actor??–Kansas v. Snap

Snap is facing a lawsuit from the state of Kansas, which accuses the company of making false statements about the end-to-end encryption of its messaging app. The state claims Snap's statements were misleading and caused the company to avoid complying with a court order to disclose information about a user's SnapChat account. The lawsuit specifically targets Snap's statement that 'end-to-end encryption means that Snapchat cannot see the content of chats, even if it wanted to.' The state argues that this statement is false, as Snap has the capability to store and access chat logs, which it uses for various purposes, including advertising and marketing. Kansas is seeking damages and an injunction to prevent Snap from making similar statements in the future.
