We have opened formal proceedings under the Digital Services Act to investigate how Snapchat exposes minors to grooming, recruitment for criminal purposes, and illegal products.

Key areas of investigation include:

🔹Grooming & recruitment of minors
🔹Age verification and access for under-13s
🔹Default privacy & safety settings
🔹Spread of illegal or age-restricted products
🔹Reporting of illegal content

We will now carry out an in-depth investigation.

@EUCommission I can't believe I used snapchat as a teenager. Looking back I can not believe how did I let myself being exposed to that amount of toxic and illegal stuff because of FOMO.

Very good initiative
