In 2021, she co-founded the Online Harms Prevention Workgroup and filed a national class action lawsuit that led to the immediate removal of these apps from Snapchat. Kristin’s lawsuit against the anonymous app, Yolo continues after winning a Section 230 appeal to hold the company accountable for product misrepresentation, setting legal precedent.
