Is Your Child a Victim of Snapchat’s Negligent Design?
Former Child Abuse & Special Victim Prosecutors are Leading the Fight for Chester County Families.

The Legal Tide Has Turned: Big Tech is Being Held Accountable

For years, social media giants hid behind federal immunity. That era is over. Following landmark jury verdicts in March 2026, courts have ruled that platforms can be held liable for negligent design features that facilitate the abuse of minors.

·         New Mexico Verdict: Meta found liable for misleading parents about platform safety, resulting in a $375 million penalty.

·         California Verdict: Juries hold Big Tech accountable for addictive and dangerous features.

Goldberg, Goldberg & Maloney is now applying this "new legal playbook" to hold Snap, Inc. (Snapchat) accountable for the harm caused to children in West Chester and across Pennsylvania.
