i started building snapchat with my cofounder bobby murphy when i was ea we designed snapchat to solve some of the problems we have experienced online when we were teenagers. we did not have an alternative to social media. that meant pictures shirt online were public, permanent, and subject to popularity metrics and it was not very good. we built snapchat differently because we wanted a way to communication that was fast, fun, and private. a picture is worth 1000 words of people communicate with images and videos. we do not have public likes and comments when you share your story with friends. snapchat is private by default , meaning that people have to opt in and choose who can contact them. one we built snapchat, we had services deleted by default. like prior generations of enjoyed the privacy of phone calls which are not recorded, they have enjoyed moments that may not be pictures are perfect but can instead convey emotion without permanence. even though they are deleted by default, we let everyone know that images and videos can be saved by that recipient. when we take action, we a

>> well, nate was cyber bullied over snapchat, so and that's owned by evan spiegel. yesterday, i wish that the senate would have grilled him more. i feel like he kind of got away from being asked hardball questions, but with the case of snapchat, we are advocating for a federal law that was just introduced called sammy's law, which forces social media platforms to open up their api to allow parents to use third-party monitoring software, so when a child is in danger or is receiving dangerous content online, a parent would receive an alert notifying them that their child is in danger. so if a snap would open up their platform to these third-party software programs, my husband and i would have received an alert immediately after my son received a message telling him to go kill himself, and we would have been able to intervene. >> if i could just add that one of the counter points that people make, why aren't parents looking after what their kids are doing online. the answer is, there is technology right now that would allow parents to keep their kids safe, or get the p

griff: you got an apology from ceo of snapchat., it is quite short. basically said i'm sorry about it. what is your reaction? amy:snapchats are my primary problem. we've met with snapchat in the past, never once have they acknowledged the platform's are all in the harm that faced our children that we lost. thousands of us across the country. the link to the harm, and is absolutely nothing. griff: he said i'm sorry we've not been able to prevent these tragedies. how sincere do you believe ceos are in doing that to prevent these tragedies. amy:they understand the problem better than a couple years ago when they started this. ceos coming at this the same way they always did. they are fixing and add campaign, they are not a social media company, i say no more snapchat, more problems. more deaths, more anxiety, more drug dealers working with our kids. in fact, evan spiegel got off easy, he said yes to everything. my response to that is if you support these bills, implement them right now. there is no reason to wait for congress to make

the owner of snapchat has become the latest social media company to announce job losses.s workforce, which is thought to be around five hundred employees. the firm is due to announce its latest financial results on tuesday. it reported a loss of more than $300 million in the previous quarter. major companies across the technology industry have been attempting to reduce costs in recent months. the uk, like many countries around the world, has an ageing population, the concern for the economy is that if things don't change, there may not be enough workers to pay for the upkeep of the state pension. earlier, my colleague sally bundock spoke to andy briggs, ceo of the phoenix group and pensions advisor to the uk government. she began by asking him if this is a global problem. so what we have globally is an ageing population. so the world economic forum recently produced some statistics that by 2050 the number of people aged over 60 globally will double and the number of people aged over 80 globally will triple by 2050. so, if you then think about that from a pensions perspect

media because snapchat is about communicating with your friends.really trying to send a message that they want to enable people who already know each other to have these interactions, and then they also have entertainment as well and things like maps where you can find your friends but that super bowl ad is a big investment and an attempt for this company to really take their claim and say we are different from say instagram or tiktok or even youtube. i think it's notable that evan spiegel also trying to make the point when he was testifying on capitol hill, were different from those other players, we are about interacting with people either one-on-one or people you know from real life. >> isn't that a little disingenuous? snapchat is the one where the messages disappear very quickly, and it can be used for pernicious ways, can end, as a result of that fact? so that it can be used as a vehicle to shame or embarrass or otherwise injure somebody. so to say all we're just here trying to put friends together and letting them communicate, come on man. >

actually, snapchat is the best for teenagers because the message is disappear. worse is things like instagram, where kids compare each other's photographs and they look at the likes and they say, why didn't my friend like me on this? and then it starts all these kind of fights and everything like that. so a lot of people, they don't understand this stuff about social media. and i think the methodology of that study that they showed, they showed the younger you start social media, you know, the worse off you are with mental health. but you know why that is? because parents who let their kids do social media young, they're terrible parents, right? so you have a crappy parent. so it's not the social media itself, right? you know, the social media companies could get out of this by just killing somebody, right. no. he's right. yeah. because we'll yeah, we'll be all talking about that while they. yeah. yeah but no, they'll just be like they won't get arrested. you can't, you know there'll be no a lot of divorces would end a lot cleaner that way too. i agree, i just f

the snapchat owner missed wall street estimates for quarterly revenue as it continues to struggle withon from much larger rivals like meta and alphabet, which grab a much larger share of digital advertising. the disappointing earnings announcement comes after snap announced it would lay off 10% of its staff. the 528 employees sacked join a much larger group of tech workers across the industry who've lost their jobs since the end of the pandemic. earlier, i spoke to a tech sector expert, who told me snap�*s quarterly results are quite dire. if you looked up "disaster" in the dictionary, you'd see snap�*s earnings. they continue to be in trouble. they're on the outside looking in — another black—eye quarter for snap, especially the advertising team. the surge in tech lay—offs in 2024 would suggest there's trouble in the industry, perhaps, but that may not necessarily be the case if we look at other key measures? i think it's a tale of two cities. the strong are getting stronger — the ai revolution�*s here. you're seeing more spending in areas like that. but then you see non—strategic are
