TO ANYONE WHO HATES SNAPCHAT!!!!!

If you hate Snapchat just as much as I do let’s work together to get it shut down.!!!!!
Snapchat should not be untouchable simply because it is popular.
A social-media company should not be able to build an enormous platform, collect years of people’s private communications and personal memories, and then operate with little meaningful accountability when its systems fail.
The problem is bigger than any one user.
It is about a platform with enormous influence over how millions of people communicate, socialize, and preserve pieces of their lives.
A platform this powerful needs accountability.
When moderation systems make mistakes, people can lose access to years of conversations and memories.
When enforcement decisions are made, users can be given little information about what supposedly happened.
When support systems are difficult or impossible to navigate, users can have nowhere meaningful to turn.
When algorithms make decisions that affect people’s lives, there should be transparency about how those decisions are made and mechanisms for correcting mistakes.
Popularity should not equal immunity.
Snapchat’s size should not protect it from scrutiny.
Being a major social platform does not give a company the right to operate without consequences when its systems fail users.
Companies that hold enormous amounts of personal information should be held to extremely high standards for:
Transparency
Privacy
Data protection
Content moderation
Account enforcement
Customer support
Appeals
Consumer protection
Corporate accountability
Users are not disposable.
A social-media platform exists because people use it.
Without its users, there is no Snapchat.
Yet platforms can sometimes treat individual users as nothing more than accounts, statistics, or automated decisions.
That relationship needs to change.
People deserve meaningful explanations when serious decisions are made about their accounts.
They deserve meaningful opportunities to challenge mistakes.
They deserve reasonable access to their own data and memories.
And they deserve to know that the company controlling their digital lives can be held accountable.
Shut it down—or force it to change.
The ultimate question isn’t whether Snapchat is popular.
The question is whether a platform this powerful is operating in a way that deserves the public’s trust.
If it cannot provide adequate transparency, meaningful accountability, responsible moderation, accessible support, and appropriate protection for its users, then regulators and lawmakers should examine whether it should continue operating in its current form.
No social-media platform should be too powerful to challenge.
No algorithm should be above accountability.
No corporation should be above scrutiny.
And no company should be allowed to believe that millions of users have no choice but to accept whatever decisions it makes.

Question about account perm lock but no device ban

So I always had 2 accounts on the same phone different emails used. I had one perm locked due to community guidelines violations (only reason given) and another perm locked for sexual content. My main account has never gotten temp or perm locked and I've never faced a device ban in the 13 years that I had snapchat. I'm trying to figure out why some people get device banned but I didn't. Is it because their violations were more serious? Should I be worried I'm sure I didn't do anything that would have the police knocking at my door or anything.

8 Year Account Permanently Locked + Device Banned, Has Anyone Had Success With Pre Arbitration?

I had my Snapchat account for about 8 years and on September 18 it got permanently locked for sexual content involving a minor. For context, it was sexual content that I understood to be legal, and at the time I genuinely didn’t know that sending it was against Snapchat’s rules. I know that now, and I wouldn’t send anything like it again. I’m also not saying I shouldn’t have gotten any punishment. I would’ve understood a warning, strike, temporary suspension, etc. I just think permanently banning an 8 year account and device banning my phone immediately was extremely harsh, especially when I didn’t know what I sent violated their rules. I appealed and explained the situation, but they denied it. After that I went through their Terms of Service and on September 21 I sent Snap’s Litigation Department a Pre Arbitration Demand by certified mail. Their terms give 60 days for the dispute resolution process before you can move on to arbitration. It’s October 4 now and I haven’t heard anything back yet. I’m probably going to follow up around the 30 day mark if they still haven’t responded. Has anyone here actually gone through pre arbitration with Snap over a permanent account/device ban? Did they respond to you, how long did it take, and did you ever get your account or device unbanned?
