Two new studies show that kids and teens frequently encounter graphic violence, sexual content, and adult strangers on the app.

    No need to worry! Soon they’ll bring mandatory age/identity verifcation, and the kids won’t see such content randomly… they’ll be specifically targeted with it xD

        Well that and society as a whole needs to find ways to give parents time and said tools to actually do that. But you certainly are not wrong.

        Precisely. Take care of your kid, don’t offload your job to corporations, cause then it will become their kid, not yours.

    I always forget that Snapchat has a public side to it. My wife and I just use it as a messaging app for videos/pictures.

      Sorry, why would you use this app if you only use the messaging part? Not sure why you call it p2p, the media you transmit is likely sent to Snapchat servers before it arrives at the other person.

        Because my wife likes it, and she’s pretty important to me.

        You’re right though, it’s certainly not a private p2p network.

          The best summary of “the real world” vs principles.

          I feel for the first reason! I was able to switch with my wife from Whatsapp to Signal but thats about as much as is possible. And we both have to still use Whatsapp because of others.

    What my kid sees is mostly casual racism.

      Snapchat is harrowing. It’s insane that it’s somehow making a comeback.

      Truly a horrifying read. As a parent of a tween, I don’t think I could be more worried. This is going to suck.
