Snapchat
Mentioned in 72 analyzed podcast episodes across 10 shows
This social media platform popular with Gen Z users is primarily discussed in podcasts for legal settlements related to child safety, addictive design features like "snap streaks," and mental health harms to young users. Podcasts frequently reference Snapchat in contexts including sextortion and stalking incidents enabled by location-sharing features, the spread of deepfakes and misinformation, and regulatory actions such as Australia's social media age ban. The platform has also faced criticism regarding data collection, lack of parental transparency about features, and content moderation challenges around non-consensual intimate imagery.
