You guys can defend Snap all you want, but the fact is there is no single company on the planet or at any point in human history that has benefitted from child pornography more than Snap has.
They became popular as the “exploding image” app. The primary consumer use case for this is transmitting nude photos. Their valuation is due in large part to the youth of their demographic (younger users than just about any social app).
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say they probably owe most of their success to solving the problem of the consequences associated with sending nudes online for people in junior high and high school (or at least, these people think it’s solving that problem for them).
Comparing Snap to email or texts on this issue is a false equivalency. Snap is specifically intended for this, and owes a ton of their valuation to children using it and spreading it for this purpose.
