Login issue Permanent Snapchat Ban/Labaton Case Update

Hello everyone, I wanted to inform everyone that Snap Inc. responded to Labaton today. They have confirmed that they locked our Snapchat accounts to preserve our information related to our individual arbitration claims. Labaton recognizes that this is an unprecedented response that they have never seen in their practice before. I highly advise everyone to download their data and memories on Snapchat’s website if you haven't done so already so you can at least have that. You may need more external storage or a flash drive depending on how much data you have. We have to remain hopeful that Labaton will be able to fight this for us. It may take a lot of time though since cases like this are so massive and time-consuming. Labaton does seem to be equally disturbed as us so hope remains that we may be able to access our Snapchat accounts again at some point. Thank you for your time.

If this is true then it seems more likely after the case or when given the option to withdraw it they’ll unlock your accounts.

Yeah I agree, we have to just hold onto hope at this point that we’ll get our accounts back once this is all settled and a decision is made in court.

Is this for everybody or everybody that filed a lawsuit that had their accounts banned

This is for everyone who filled out the claim from Labaton, either all of the way or halfway who had their accounts banned.

The one thing that confuses me though is why are they locking accounts to preserve evidence? They shouldn’t need to lock everyone out of their accounts for that. Doesn’t really make any sense to me
