What does Snapchat want from your child? Snapchat's own website explains..... Sources and more at xodus.online/why/#consume...
Graphic showing scared children being grabbed by a Snapchat arm, scrolling on a smartphone, with full shopping trolly of clothes and cosmetics, and being targeted with an arrow.
Text from Snapchat website:
    “Reach Gen Z and Millennials with Snapchat Ads – Snapchat reaches 90% of the 13-24 year old population and 75% of the 13-34 year old population in 25+ countries.”
    “People interact with their closest circle of family and friends on Snapchat more than any other social network, opening the app nearly 40 times a day. That enthusiasm means they’re ready and willing to discover your business.”
    “They’re More Receptive – When compared to watching the same ad on other platforms, people are 34% more likely to purchase products they see advertised on Snapchat — from businesses just like yours.”
    “Snapchat Ads Manager offers several options to reach your preferred audience.
        Standard Targeting: Select location and demographics including age, gender, language, and more.
        Lookalike audience: Based on your customer list or Pixel Custom Audience, Snapchat will find more people similar to your best customers.”

How do Irish political parties do in walking the talk on de-platforming X and engaging on the open social web and Irish Fediverse (mastodon.ie) ? @xodus-online.bsky.social xodus.online
Table showing which Irish political parties have removed X and included Bluesky and Mastodon icons on their websites.  Green Party have done all three actions, Social Democrats, Labour and People Before Profit have done some, and Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have done none.  Learn more at http://xodus.online

Concrete European alternatives to X: Mastodon and Open Portability
Dear Ms Geese, Dear Ms Cifrová Ostrihoňová, Dear fellow signatories and Members of the European Parliament, Thank you for your strong and timely letter addressing the ongoing crisis on X. Your assessment is clear: X is no longer a safe, open or balanced platform for democratic debate. Your arguments align with those set out in our Open Letter to All European Politicians and Leaders to Abandon X/Twitter, which was written more than a year ago and has been endorsed by over three thousand people.

Great to see campaigners against TikTok toxicity. However, it is against Tiktok's whole business model to de-toxify. We need to build platforms from the ground up designed on values not profit, like Loops joinloops.org Join the xodus.online @uplift.ie @amnesty.org @amnestyeu.bsky.social
