Comment on Snapchat Settles Charges with FTC That It Deceived Usersparent

Comments

Not to mention this "20 year of privacy policy monitoring" seems to be all but useless. They have that for Facebook, too, and I don't think it's a hassle for them in changing the privacy policy every few months without even notifying its users at all. It's just business as usual for Facebook, and I assume the same will happen with Snapchat.

I think this 20 year policy has only 2 purposes:

1) appease the public and show them that they're "doing something", no matter how useless that thing is

2) possibly blackmail these companies to give the government their data more easily next time they request it - or else.
