Misleading thread title. I thought that what we were going to find out was that snapchat actually was saving photos despite what they claimed. This isn't as incriminating. Everyone had to know how unsafe snapchat was as soon as they found out that a simple screenshot circumvented it though. I wonder why the app doesn't disable screenshots when it is displaying photos.

considering the largest number of snapchat users are in the 13-17 camp, I don't think these photos will be uploaded too many places, looks like it's already off TPB as the link was 404'd. There will be some private torrents for sure, but I don't think the major torrent sites will want to host it.

Snapchat had to change their claims of privacy a long time ago. Now it's just an app for "sharing moments" and they even mention the possibility of screenshots right in the description.

I just downloaded a Snappening compilation with videos. A lot of Swedish-speakers and clearly underage girls. It won't be on any mainstream sharing sites.

My impression was that they WEREN'T deleted, just renamed. Whether Snapchat deletes them from their servers, like they pinky-swore that they would, is another question.

Surprised that doesn't concern you more.

Edit: By the way, let's see how the situation is handled this time around, assuming that no one rich and famous is involved.
