Pouring the resources of a company the size of Snap into addicting as many kids into their app as deeply as possible is not the same letting them communicate freely. Besides that, I don't know of any parent that would want ephemeral and private communication between their child and a predatory adult. Snap is also doing nothing to shield them from pedophiles, drug dealers, and arms dealers that are using the same app as a marketplace.
The damning part is that these companies know they harm they are doing, and choose to lean into to it for more $$$.
Thanks for your response. Your open source contributions are perhaps less damned than those of an actual Snap employee ;)
