Snapchat

Mentioned in 138 analyzed podcast episodes across 10 shows

A social media platform primarily used by Gen Z that has faced significant legal scrutiny over addictive design features like "snap streaks" and mental health harms to young users, resulting in multiple lawsuit settlements. The platform has drawn particular attention regarding child safety concerns, including sextortion cases, location-tracking vulnerabilities, and the spread of deepfakes and misinformation among younger audiences. Podcasts discuss Snapchat in the context of regulatory action, including Australian age restrictions, and debate over responsible platform design and youth protection.
