About this episode
Today I'm joined by attorney Laura Marquez-Garrett to review the latest series of events in the world of Snapchat. Snap rolled out new "safety features," but will these features really protect children from being contacted by strangers on Snapchat? The short answer is no, but there is much more harm lurking within Snapchat than meets the eye. Join Laura and I as we take parents through the app that has fooled us all; an addictive torture den that masquerades itself as a "whimsical candy castle" for kids. In summary, Snapchat will never, ever prioritize our child's safety over profits. They must be forced to through lawsuits and legislation. Here's how you can help... Contact your state Senators and member in the House of Representatives and ask them to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). This single bill will save countless lives.
