  Are scandals like this enough for teens to stop doing it? Would any amount of uncertainty prevent teens from doing this? Is there any way people can prevent these sites from happening or Snapchat can further prevent screenshots?

  "Nothing is ever really deleted on the internet." This fact can have a negative impact on people of all kinds. Whether you are a student, teacher, parent, or coworker, anything that is posted on the internet or sent via phone can make it's way back in your face. Students especially should be aware of this because one naughty snap chat can/will be used against you. Snapchat should be discontinued.

  People should really be more aware of the dangers of sending nude snapchats. On iOS, you can glitch it to screenshot the phone without letting the sender know. On android, you can actually go into your phone's files and get the previously received photos. As Jake quoted, "Nothing is ever really deleted on the internet." I don't think that Snapchat should stop its services, but people should just be more aware/cautious and understand that sending a nude picture, even through snapchat, risks having that picture being misused and posted online for all to see.

  This is a good representation of how the internet can be harmful, and also how people lull themselves into a false sense of security when it comes to believing how "private" their pictures really are. I think this serves as a good reminder that people should be careful about who they send pictures to, and that they should first think about how damaging these posts can be. Although these websites are obviously in the wrong, and it should teach these people a lesson, I don't necessarily think that people who send a lot of naked snapchats care that much in the first place. Facebook and other websites should definitely discourage this kind of thing, but the original senders need to take responsibility for their actions.

  This news is not surprising at all - ever since Snapchat started, people have been waiting for a scandal to pop up in which someone's nude pictures get posted online. Even though teens are deterred for a while, mostly out of fear of this happening to them, I feel like there will always be a new way to send naked pictures or messages to each other. First it was texting, then Facebook, now Snapchat. I think it takes a lot more than just another scandal to stop teens from doing it completely - there will always be new ways that are supposed to be "safer," like Snapchat.

  Although this scandal seems like a recent phenomenon, people have been acquiring photos from Snapchat for some time. Evidently, it is not enough for teens to stop the flow of nude pictures because they have been acting with this potential hack for some time. When it comes down to it, nobody cares because so many people are doing it. People feel safer in numbers, even safe enough to send nude photos. There is no way for Snapchat to prevent screenshots, but one can try to avoid such a scene by simply not download Snapchat, which is the primary modem of transportation. Even then, there is no way to stop pictures from being sent normally.

  I hate reading stuff like this. Revenge Porn? Jesus Christ c'mon society that is just sick. However, I think that the real lesson here is that one shouldn't send any nude pics in the first place. Snapchat can be pretty fun and score some major laughs. I don't think the problem is as much the app as it is the teens sending dirty pics.

  Thoughtless teens posting/sending nudes doesn't seem to be a "phenomenon" that's going away any time soon. Snapchat, however, seems to broadcast the false conception that these photos are irretrievable after the timer winds down. I'm fairly sure that legally, if such images are being sent to/from minors, Snapchat is liable for some sort of suit regarding child pornography. While I personally think Snapchat conduct should be the responsibility of the users themselves, I also think that perhaps the app needs to better warn its teen users that images can, through screen-capping and the likes, be saved and potentially distributed. Perhaps by being reminded the userbase that, as Jake said, Nothing is ever really deleted on the internet," randy Snapchatters will think twice before clicking send.

  This is horrible, the fact that Facebook decided that making a page simply for nude snapchats makes me extremely disappointed in society. Facebook can facilitate cyber bullying because people can write on other people's walls, or create fake accounts to harass other people with. While this is bad, the idea of Facebook is for friends to connect, and positive things are supposed to come of it, so there is some justification in the website. However making a page for people to post nude snapchats as revenge, without the person who sent the picture knowing is horrible. There is no justification for it, and only bad things can come of it. That page would be humiliating and demoralizing.

  This is just the kind of thing that shows the negative aspects of social media. Although the intent for these types of apps and sites is to be a positive ways to interact and connect with friends, the fact that users still to (ab)use it in this way is disappointing and sad. From all the previous scandals that have been publicized, it's surprising to me that people are still engaging in these types of behaviors. I think that is more the individuals responsibility for exposing themselves more than it is Snapchat's because they are objectifying themselves to all the possible consequences when they choose to send photos.

  It's a risk, and people need to know this so they don't take it.
