Perhaps SnapChat files a counter suit on the parents for buying their kid a smartphone, paying for service, and not putting parental controls on the device to keep them from using apps that they don’t want their kid accessing

Google parental controls shut down automatically after a certain age.

Not much of a counter suit. It's legal to buy your kid a smartphone and it's legal to not put parental controls on it.
