After 14-year-old Alex Neville dies from a single counterfeit Oxycontin pill he buys from a Snapchat dealer, his mom, Amy, takes on the tech corporation in an unequal fight. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects internet companies like Snap from lawsuits over user content. Because of this, parents have been unable to hold Snap accountable or drive meaningful change to protect vulnerable children. Amy Neville and other grieving parents are raising their voices to ask how long we will value corporate profits over children's lives.
