New Mexico is seeking an injunction to permanently block Snap from practices allegedly harming kids. That includes a halt on advertising Snapchat as “more private” or “less permanent” due to the alleged “core design problem” and “inherent danger” of Snap’s disappearing messages. The state’s complaint noted that the FBI has said that “Snapchat is the preferred app by criminals because its design features provide a false sense of security to the victim that their photos will disappear and not be screenshotted.”

      And what if video games, movies, and books normalize killing? There is no evidence to show that it does or that it will.

        We have porn games, but we don’t have CP games. There’s a line between violence and SA with minors.

        Edit: oh wait, Japan might be an example 🙃 and yeah, they got issues.
