Snapchat expands efforts to protect teens from drug deals on its app – CNET [CNET]
Snapchat is ramping up its efforts to combat illicit drug deals on its app. Parent company Snap on Tuesday shared an update about its latest efforts to stop the push of narcotics on its platform with a greater focus on teens. Snapchat plans to launch a suite of parental tools and other features aimed at stopping drug deals.
The changes come after the app faced backlash last October following an NBC News report that examined the deaths of teens and young adults who were suspected of buying fentanyl-laced drugs through Snapchat.
More to come.
