The popular instant messaging app Snapchat made the Dirty Dozen List this year, with NCOSE citing issues like “sextortion, sexual interactions between minors and adults, and pornography exposure.”

“Snap knows how dangerous its platform is but has done little to resolve the issues. Instead, Snap continues to keep and even add yet riskier features, such as My Eyes Only, Speed filter, Snap Streaks, and MyAI,” NCOSE stated.

“Research, law enforcement, survivors, lawyers, and other child online safety experts consistently name Snapchat within the top three most dangerous platforms for children — and available data on child online exploitation confirms this assessment.”

In 2021, NCOSE put Snapchat on a “Watch List,” noting at the time that while the messaging app was not as much of a concern as other businesses, it still had issues that needed to be resolved.
