Snapchat Poses Another Social Media Problem

Latest Polls (view all)

Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.85% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.15% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Think public school teachers are indoctrinating students? Evita Duffy writes for the Federalist about a social media platform that poses a larger threat.

You saw Twitter suppress and censor the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. You know Google conspired with NBC to try and deplatform The Federalist. You watched how after election day big tech oligarchs purged conservatives from social media and colluded to destroy Parler.

What you probably haven't heard much about is Snapchat. Why? Adults aren't really on the app. A 2020 study found Snapchat is the most popular social media among U.S. teens (TikTok is a close second).

It is dominated by social media's youngest users, and with its short-lived, disappearing content, parents have no way of keeping tabs on what their kids are looking at. For years, Snapchat has flown under the radar, yet they are arguably the most influential and dangerous app because of its solid grip on the next generation of Americans.

Parents tend to think Snapchat is just about sending photos and videos to your friends. Snapchat used to just offer one- to ten-second person-to-person photo and video sharing and "stories" of 24 hours of chronological content that all your Snapchat "friends" can view.

However, in 2015, Snapchat got into the brainwashing business when it introduced "Discover," a feature for publishers like CNN, Complex, The New York Times, Mashable, People, Vice, and Vox to showcase short, ad-supported content. Snapchat also offers smaller brands and content creators a platform on Discover, like the famous left-wing podcast "Pod Save America" and "Hooked on the Look," a documentary series focusing on people who go to extreme lengths to look a certain way.

Snapchat's editorial team has complete control over Discover content. They carefully hand-select propaganda to be placed right before your child's eyes. ...

... What's more important than Snapchat's partnership with legacy media is the cultural stories from less serious publications that are the most effective at reeducating young people with colorful story thumbnails and catchy headlines.
