I work on an app that has been gaining popularity precisely because it's a way to keep in touch with family and friends with no social media aspect (called Marco Polo, a video walkie talkie). I'm curious if there is going to be enough of a backlash to return to more organic face to face (and actually interactive) communication versus broadcast mode and pretending to be something that will seem impressive. That seems to be true of our users anyway.

We don't even know if CA has done all the damage it is going to yet. > No one cares that this happened outside of the security community. This has very little to do with security and very much to do with Facebook's policies.

- tomrod 9y agoMy family loves this app but I've heartily resisted due to privacy concerns. What data do you collect now, and what data do you intend to collect in the future?
- asteli 9y agoThat was part of Snapchat's charm, I think. No pressure to perform, just do silly things with your friends. Then Snap needed to make money, so they got into the content and the advertising and added Stories and 'influencers,' and it's basically the same as any other social network now.
