The Georgia Supreme Court recently ruled that Snapchat could be sued for having a feature that allowed people to record their speed while driving because a teenager was attempting to record himself at speeds in excess of 150 mph and lost control of his vehicle, causing an accident. Snapchat was aware in the past that other teenagers had been posting photos using the feature to show themselves driving at excessive speeds.

To participate in this year’s Scales of Justice Scholarship contest, write an essay taking a position either for or against holding Snapchat responsible for the accident and explain your reasoning behind your decision.
