## Resource

Snapchat’s cracking down on AI-generated content in Spotlight, prioritizing real human creativity to fight the flood of “AI slop” — while still letting creators use AI tools for editing. They’re not banning AI outright, but reshaping their algorithm to favor authentic stories. This move joins a broader industry trend: LinkedIn lets users flag AI posts, Substack helps spot AI newsletters, and YouTube now blocks monetization for inauthentic AI personas. Meanwhile, Snapchat’s also beefed up safety for teens, hiding Spotlight posts from followers unless they follow back — all part of a push to restore genuine human expression online.
