Are online social media apps like “Snapchat” marketing deadly pills to kids?

Snapchat was the focus of a panel discussion on Wednesday, with two lawyers who have sued the company’s parent, Snap Inc., and the mother of a 14-year-old boy who died from a fentanyl overdose after buying counterfeit pills through the platform in attendance. Amy Neville, a resident of Orange County, CA, stated that Snapchat’s popularity with teens and its disappearing messages allowed her son to access dangerous drugs. Carrie Goldberg, a lawyer from New York, claimed that Snapchat is responsible for accidental fentanyl deaths among teens, as they often purchase the drugs without realizing it through the platform.
