What does Snapchat want from your child? Snapchat's own website explains..... Full sources and more at xodus.online/why/#consumerism

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.”

Only 17% of Austrian MPs are still on X. Compare that to Sweden, 66%, the Netherlands, 63%, and the EU average, 58%, that gap is striking. Finland is often cited as a leader in digital literacy and counter-disinformation. It makes me curious how Finnish politicians assess X today, as a neutral […]
