Teenager sued over Snapchat filter


Teenager sued over Snapchat filter



A teenager’s being sued over claims she was using Snapchat at the wheel as she crashed, leaving a man brain damaged.
Christal McGee’s accused of using the app’s speed filter, which lets users see how fast they’re moving.
It’s also claimed the 18-year-old kept on using the app after the crash, posting pictures of her injuries and saying she was “lucky to be alive”.
Lawyers for Wentworth Maynard, who was a passenger in the other vehicle, say he now needs constant care from family.

In a statement, Wentworth’s wife Karen says he’s so tired he falls asleep in his wheelchair during the day.
“We used to sit on the sofa and watch TV in the evening, and Wentworth would hug me,” Karen Maynard claims in court papers. “Now, he can’t do that any more.”

In a statement on Monday, Samsung said customers who trade in their Note 7 phone for either a flat-screen or curved-screen version of the Galaxy S7 can trade up for a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 smartphone launching next year through an upgrade programme. The news seemingly confirms that Samsung will be continuing the Note line despite the disaster of the Note 7, which was permanently discontinued earlier this month. According to Reuters, Note 7 owners in Korea will only have to pay half the price of a Galaxy S7 to get their hands on a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 next year. When Samsung was asked if the sa...
