This is by design and it's only purpose. A messaging system with self destructing messages that has allowed unfettered access by children since the day it launched. I never understood how this was acceptable and I'm still astounded.
Harm based on the embedded dogma of a capitalist culture that wants to both YOLO every day away but also needs a new generation of serfs to make line go up
There's no separating the adults awareness they end up needy olds in hospice
Obvious self selection and anxiety no one will be around to dote on their biology when it's too old to care for itself; after a life of winging it and projecting zero obligation to assure the condition of others, best ram obligations down the kid's throats
Sorry contemporary American adults but ultimately you get the same dice role and to watch your society change and move on as every other generation before. Whether you are cared for or forgotten in a moldy room is the outcome of socialized capitalist dysregulation you prefer over socialized certainty
When an entire country's zeitgeist is "YOLO!" don't cry when everyone else is YOLOing and you too are forgotten
Snapchat made evil design design choices for child users.
* Content is deleted after frist view. No way to review content at a later time.
* Sharing of location foster surveillance among friends. Location can also leak to predators.
* Peeking on who your friends chat with is more surveillance.
And more stuff I dom't know about.

10,000 child sexploitation reports a month is... beyond alarming.
