The more interesting thing about this is that it is likely to result in a higher 'hit' rating of nude/risky pics as somebody using snapsave inherently is intentionally attempting to keep pictures the sender knew were going to be automatically deleted.
Another concern would be the age range in these pictures. I personally perceive snapchat as a 'young' persons app. I have a feeling a lot of these pictures will be classified as child porn (sub 18 pics).
- Lrigikithumer 12y agoSnapchat is a very young people oriented app 50% of all users are aged 13-17 which almost definitely means that there are significant amounts of illegal pictures being hosted. This brings in an interesting area of questioning, does this mean that Snapsave could get in any sort of legal trouble for storing these images? The hackers in this case have compromised a lot of young peoples intimate images which I imagine would make them very liable and open themselves up to legal troubles in that domain too, and I can't help but feel sorry for the people who did send these pictures who had them stored against their knowledge by someone they may have cared about and are now out there for any perv to grab a copy of.

I find it hard to believe, what makes Snapsave different from any other file hosting service? As far as I know, no service provider is liable unless they are aware of any specific illegal content being uploaded.
