A special investigation has been launched against the popular social media platform Snapchat. The investigation launched aims to prevent users who are using the platform in violation of the rules. Here are the details
Snapchat users who do not meet the criteria will have their accounts closed!
With the investigation launched in the UK, it is aimed to close the accounts of users who do not meet the age criteria required for social media use. After the punishments of TikTok on the subject, the eyes were turned on Snapchat.
As it is known, many countries want young social media users to be at least 13 years old. Realizing that this limitation was not taken into account by Snapchat, the UK government launched an investigation on the subject.
Within the scope of the investigation, platform users were put under the microscope. It is aimed to eliminate the elements that can threaten the security of young users by unconsciously using social media, within the process of penalizing up to four percent of Snapchat’s annual revenue.
Similar complaints have been brought up for many social media platforms before. Finally, TikTok faced a major investigation and was fined a hefty fine. It is not clear what awaits Snapchat, which is currently sharing the same fate, but it is among the strong possibilities that a fine may be imposed.
