Not just privacy, mental health too
Do not confuse any of the content you see on Snapchat as news. It is an advertisement. It is a free service and the content is highly competitive, so it must be enticing to pull you in and it has one objective: to generate revenue.
If you want news, you need to find a new platform with different incentives. Lemmy removes the profit incentive, a news website keeps the profit incentive but add transparency.
If you want to keep up with friends and they're on Snapchat, then by all means use Snapchat, but the idea that you can use it as a platform to keep up with news is delusional.
The public snaps are absolutely not a good way to keep up with the world around you. When I still used it, it was just celebrity slop on the public snaps. If that has changed then idk.
