Snapchat wants you to keep your clothes on; launches 'Snapchat Safety Center'

Photo sharing app Snapchat is making all efforts to get rid of the nickname, 'sexting app'. In a effort to curb this down, Snapchat has released a 'Snapchat Safety Center' for parents and teachers who are concerned that teens could indulge in posting inappropriate images.Snapchat released a statement on their website claiming, "Together with our safety advisory board, some of the world’s leading safety advocates, we have developed guides for staying safe while using Snapchat." They added, "Within our safety center parents, teachers, and Snapchatters can find safety tips, research, and resources." The company has also provided links to Snapchat's Abuse and Safety center and its Community Guidelines.In the past, hacker forums claimed unknown parties had created a file holding at least 100,000 stolen Snapchat photos, including many of minors, that could end up being posted online. The anticipated event, dubbed "The Snappening," was widely reported. While Snapchat said its servers were not breached, it confirmed that rogue third-party apps have been storing its users’ pictures.It’s clear that Snapchat doesn't want users sending nudes as any photo of a person under 18 is technically regarded "child pornography". A report by Fusion jots down a few points on what users should not snap. The list includes pornography, nudity or sexually suggestive content involving minors (people under the age of 18), harassment or bullying, minors engaged in activities that are physically dangerous and harmful, invasions of privacy, threats, impersonation and self-harm.
