AG Ford announced his office filed a civil lawsuit against tech holding company MediaLab.AI and its social messaging app, Kik, for harms the company has caused to Nevada’s youth. This is the latest consumer protection lawsuit the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has filed under AG Ford’s leadership, following lawsuits against TikTok, Snapchat and three Meta-owned platforms, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger filed in 2024 and a lawsuit against YouTube filed earlier in 2025. The case was filed late Friday in the Eighth Judicial District business court.

“Kik’s anonymity feature and low barrier to entry, among other things, harm Nevada’s youth. The company’s actions and false claims of safety also put Nevada’s children in danger. I will not allow companies to neglect their responsibilities to Nevada’s youth, and I will bring any offender that does so to court.” – AG Ford
