Snapchat's 'disappearing' messages make it easy for predators to target kids, state lawsuit alleges
Briefly

"Snap has misled users into believing that photos and videos sent on their platform will disappear. But predators can permanently capture this content and they have created a virtual yearbook of child sexual images that are traded, sold, and stored indefinitely."
"While the app's disappearing messages feature may lead kids and teens to believe their photos are ephemeral, the AG claims they're easily and frequently captured by predators. Torrez's office said they found more than 10,000 records related to Snap and CSAM on the dark web in 2023, and added that 'Snapchat was by far the largest source of images and videos among the dark web sites investigated.'"
