After Babel looks at the categories of cases brought against SnapChat to investigate what else Snap Inc. knows or believes about the impact of its product on users, particularly teens.
Check out their post presenting dozens of quotations from internal reports, studies, memos, conversations, and public statements in which Snap executives, employees, and consultants acknowledge and discuss the harms that Snapchat causes to many minors who use their platform. They group their findings into five key clusters of harms:
- Addictive, Compulsive, and Problematic Use
- Drugs and Guns
- Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), Sextortion, and In-person Sexual Predation and Assault
- Cyberbullying
- Knowledge of Harm and Underage Use, and Lack of Action
They show that company insiders were aware of multiple widespread and serious harms, and in many cases did not act promptly or make substantial changes.
