Snapchat

Snapchat's "self-destructing" content feature can wrongly give users the impression that the images they share are secure and exist momentary in the online world, before they disappyear without consequence. This misunderstanding, or false sense of security, has resulted in Snapchat being named as one of the most prolific platforms in which young users exchange risky and sexualised content (such as nude photographs). Consequently, there are many reports of inappropriate images being captured through various techniques and shared beyond the original intended recepient. Snapchat also provides location tracking and if privacy settings have not been applied, the user's location is publicly available. Similarly, if privacy settings are neglected, strangers can view the user's profile.
