SNAP INC - A

Snap

Snap is a technology company best known for its marquis social media application Snapchat, a visual messaging application that has amassed hundreds of millions of users. The app was initially only used to communicate with family and friends through photographs and short videos (known as "Snaps"). Users can now enjoy augmented reality, or AR, lenses, content from famous creators and celebrities, updates about local events, and more. Although the app offers a paid subscription option with premium features, advertising sales produce most of the app's revenue. The firm also sells wearable devices called AR Spectacles, which can capture photos and videos overlayed with AR lenses, but these make up a small portion of Snap's overall sales.

President Trump Says TikTok Different Than Nippon; Would Need China Approval On TikTok; Think We Can Save TikTok

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zinger Points:</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>TikTok is developing photo messaging despite internal warnings about potential sextortion risks, according to leaked documents.</li>
<li>ByteDance&#8217;s planned IPO faces new hurdles as U.S. lawmakers escalate scrutiny over teen safety.</li>
<li>The feature challenges Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) but lacks its robust safety measures, internal sources suggest.</li>
</ul>
TikTok is reportedly developing a new feature that would allow users aged 16 and above in the U.S. to share photos privately via direct messages. While still in testing, the feature has sparked internal concerns over safety risks, particularly the potential for abuse in the form of sextortion — a growing threat on social platforms targeting minors.
According to <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/tiktok-working-photo-messaging-feature-despite-employee-concerns-sextortion">The Information</a>, some TikTok employees have raised concerns that introducing disappearing photos in direct messages could increase the risk of sextortion and other forms of abuse. Internal discussions cited by the report highlight doubts over the platform's readiness to manage potential misuse, especially given that the feature may lack safeguards already implemented by rivals, such as nudity detection and stricter age verification.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rising Threat of Sextortion on Social Media</h2>
The timing is particularly sensitive. Sextortion Scams, where minors are coerced into sharing explicit content and then blackmailed, are on the rise globally. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/sextortion-nigeria-bm-boys-tiktok">The Guardian</a> reported that organized groups like Nigeria's so-called "BM Boys" use platforms such as TikTok and Instagram to target teenage boys, often resulting in devastating outcomes such as suicide.
U.S. law enforcement and child advocacy groups have raised similar alarms. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children <a href="https://www.missingkids.org/theissues/sextortion">has tracked</a> a more than 300% spike in sextortion reports since 2021, mostly involving boys aged 14 to 17, emphasizing the importance of robust safety measures on social media platforms.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Rivals Are Responding</h2>
Other tech giants have responded to rising concerns with a wave of new safety tools:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) said it has <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2024/10/instagram-campaign-protect-teens-sextortion-scams/">introduced</a> features that blur nudity in direct messages sent to teens and restricts unsolicited adult contact on Instagram.</li>
<li>Snap said it has<a href="https://values.snap.com/news/new-features-to-help-protect-our-community"> introduced</a> new safety tools designed to detect and prevent sextortion attempts, including enhanced friend request protections, in-app alerts for suspicious activity, and expanded parental controls.</li>
<li>Discord, often criticized for lax moderation, <a href="https://discord.com/safety/how-discord-leverages-machine-learning-to-fight-csam">is rolling out</a> machine learning models to detect and intercept potentially exploitative material shared through its messaging systems.</li>
</ul>
TikTok has yet to announce any new safety measures linked to its upcoming messaging feature, The Information reported.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ByteDance's $300 Billion Balancing Act</h2>
The renewed scrutiny over TikTok's safety practices comes as parent company ByteDance moves closer to a potential 2025 IPO. Analysts say the company's valuation could reach $300 billion, amid continued pressure from U.S. lawmakers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42027476/bytedance-valuation-soars-to-300b-despite-threat-of-us-tiktok-ban">over TikTok's operations</a>. However, unresolved safety concerns—particularly those involving minors—could complicate its pitch to regulators and institutional investors.

The Federal Trade Commission has already intensified its focus on online platforms&#8217; role in child exploitation, and lawmakers in the U.S. continue to push for TikTok to sever its ties with its Beijing-based parent.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
TikTok must balance growth and innovation with safety investments as it enters Snapchat&#8217;s core territory. With ByteDance&#8217;s IPO timeline at stake, the coming months will show whether TikTok can replicate its short-form video success in photo sharing without inviting <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39945781/meta-cracks-down-on-nigerian-yahoo-boys-in-massive-sextortion-scam-purge-bans-63k-accounts">Meta-scale regulatory backlash</a>.

Shares of companies within the broader communication services sector are trading higher amid overall market strength after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods.

On Thursday, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri's testimony revealed how TikTok's <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says">explosive rise forced</a> the Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)-owned app into a fight for survival.
What Happened: Mosseri testified in the Federal Trade Commission's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45112477/exclusive-if-meta-is-forced-to-divest-instagram-whatsapp-or-facebook-43-pick-this-standout">antitrust case against Meta</a>, where the U.S. government claims the tech giant has illegally monopolized the social networking market.
The trial detailed how, when Mosseri took over Instagram in 2018, the app was facing worrisome drops in user engagement, largely due to competition from ByteDance-owned TikTok. By 2019, internal estimates showed that 23% of Instagram's declining U.S. time spent could be attributed directly to TikTok.
"We can't explain it all, but what's clear at this point is that we need to adapt, and do so quickly," Mosseri wrote to his team in March 2020.
In his testimony at DC courts, Instagram&#8217;s boss said, "You're either growing, or you're slowly dying."
Instagram's comeback came largely through improving its Reels product with better AI-driven recommendations. But TikTok remains "the fiercest competition that we have faced," the report noted.
Interestingly, in his testimony, Mosseri noted that while TikTok used to offer a passive, lean-back viewing experience, it has now become "every bit as participatory as we are," even rolling out features to strengthen friend connections.
Why It's Important: The testimony comes at a pivotal moment as the FTC argues that Meta's dominance in personal social networking — a market that includes apps like Instagram and Snapchat by Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) — is stifling competition.
Meta has argued against the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/11/42177636/meta-heads-to-trial-over-instagram-whatsapp-acquisitions">antitrust allegations</a>, highlighting competition from TikTok and YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).
While Meta has claimed in court that entertainment has eclipsed social connections in its business, Mosseri's comments on Thursday highlight that friend-based engagement remains a key differentiator for Instagram, the report said.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s shares slipped 0.015% in after-hours trading, settling at $597.92, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
The company holds a momentum score of 82.95% and a growth score of 76.10%, as per Benzinga's exclusive Edge Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here to see how Meta stacks up against</a>&nbsp;Snapchat, Alphabet and others.

<h3>About Snap</h3>
Snap is a technology company best known for its marquis social media application Snapchat, a visual messaging application that has amassed hundreds of millions of users.
