Recently, a judge in Spalding County, Georgia, dismissed a claim to hold the social media company responsible for a car accident in which a woman was trying out Snapchat’s “speed filter.” The feature tracks how fast users are moving when they take photos, and the woman was attempting to drive 100 miles an hour to get a “speed filter” picture. In doing so, she hit another driver. Judge Josh Thacker said that the immunity clause in the 1996 Communications Decency Act nullified the claim.
So where’s the Pokémon GO connection?
