Summary
According to Snap Inc., around 90 percent of 13- to 24-year-olds worldwide use Snapchat. But what exactly is this platform, how do teenagers use it, and why are parents so deeply concerned about what their children encounter there? Epoch Times reporter Beige Luciano-Adams created a Snapchat account for a 13-year-old avatar and was shocked by the sexual, violent, and other unsafe content that quickly appeared. In this episode we look at how drug dealers have circumnavigated guardrails on the platform to sell narcotics to children, with tragic and sometimes fatal results. We also examine how the app’s design works, why the technology is so addictive, and how it may affect adolescent brains.
