When WSJ reported that Facebook inflated its view count metric was inflated, there were no ensuing lawsuits. My significant other works directly in advertising for one of Facebook's advertising partners, and while she told me there was a lot of concern about it, there was almost no trickle down effect to the downstream customers. After a week or two, life went on as usual.
This may not be a completely equitable comparison (Facebook has far better brand equity and a longer history of trustworthiness than Snap at this juncture), but I think it's illustrative that this may not have the "sky is falling" impact we would otherwise anticipate.
