Snap agrees to pay $15 million to settle gender discrimination lawsuit


The lawsuit alleged women faced retaliation for speaking out.

Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat, has agreed to pay $15 million to settle a gender discrimination lawsuit from the California Civil Rights Department. During this time, California’s civil rights agency claims Snap paid women less and offered them fewer promotions when compared to male employees. The company opened an internal investigation into racism and sexism in 2020, and it released its first diversity report in response to growing scrutiny about its work culture that same year.
