Today, we announced new features to further safeguard our community from online harms. Our new suite of tools includes expanded in-app warnings, enhanced friending protections, simplified location-sharing, and blocking improvements – all designed to reinforce the real friend relationships that make Snapchat so unique.

That's great to hear about the features added by Snap. However, addressing bullying and sextortion attempts still has a long way to go. Here in Australia, I have developed an app called Yoochooz that prevents inappropriate messages from being sent in real time. It provides an opportunity for children to reconsider when a prompt is issued. If the child still decides to send the message, a copy is automatically sent to their parents through the Yoochooz device. This solution should not be solely reliant on social media platforms. It requires a collective effort involving parents, social media platforms, and law enforcement. By collaborating, we can find a comprehensive solution to these issues. www.yoochooz.com.au

You'll safe gaurd us from the "bad guys" yeah no you allow a lot of pedophiles, stalkers and harassers on the platform and do nothing about them. All you guys really do is not care about the real problems like fixing your support system WHICH IVE BEEN WAITING TEN WEEKS FOR ACTUAL HELP, then you also have the moderation that's terrible and overall spying on us as well
Snapchat, your moderation system is completely wrong. My account with more than 130k followers was suspended for non-existent content. Impossible to talk to a human, only automated responses. This is a lack of respect for content creators.

Zero support and moderation, moderation is done by a AI that barley fuctions and the support is also a fucking AI THAT DOESNT DO ANYTHING
Love this! Snap is truly the #1 space for teens (from making friends to dating) so this is great news!

2wwhen will snapchat responded to the Old Police regardig the fake account the was made in my 11 year old daughters name and was used to bully other 11 year old on your app, we have been chasing this for about 2 months ( it took your team over a week just to repond and remove the fake account, and you would remove it even when multiple kids reported it as a fake account. Snapchat wont even remove underage children from your app when i have reported them. The mental health issues this has caused my daughter from an app she doesnt even use is major. Snapchat keep saying they are looking after teen why not remove the children that are underage, just because they lied about the year they were borned doesn't prove its corret. Maybe when you receive a report regarding underage users you should ask for a student id to be sent and then a video call to prove its them.
