The Heat is On is an investigative series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative. Sarah Gardner, Founder and CEO of Heat Initiative, joins Nicki (S2D) to expose the truth Big Tech doesn't want you to hear – and this episode is all about Snapchat.From a disappearing-nude app in 2011 to a social media giant in 2025, Snapchat's story is one of innovation, imitation, and controversy. When it comes to digital harms and kids, Snapchat ranks among the worst—which is why this story expands two parts. In Part 1, we're exposing how Snapchat's “innovations” have put profits ahead of our children's safety. Snapchat's culture was flawed from the start. The FTC sanctioned the company early on for misleading users about how ‘private' disappearing snaps really were. Since then, features like Discover and AR filters have been designed to keep kids endlessly engaged, regardless of the consequences.Today, nearly half of all U.S. teens use Snapchat. Yet the platform continues to enable drug poisonings, connect minors with predators, and drive addictive use. As psychologist Jonathan Haidt warns, Snapchat is harming children on an industrial scale - and insiders admit the company knows but fails to act.Online drug dealing, especially fentanyl-laced pills, has fueled a 350% rise in teen deaths over the past three years. Snapchat's Quick Add feature helps dealers find young users, exposing an estimated 700,000 people to drug content daily. Even when dealers are reported, only one in four accounts is removed.Sextortion is another growing crisis. Snapchat receives about 10,000 reports each month— numbers employees say barely scratch the surface. Predators exploit the app's disappearing messages, and with Snap Map, digital threats increasingly turn into real-world harm.Rather than designing for safety, Snapchat keeps doubling down on engagement. Features like Snapstreaks drive compulsive use; 45% of teens now use the app “almost constantly.” Your child's attention keeps them profitable.In this episode, Sarah and Nicki hear from parents and experts who've seen the damage firsthand. Their message is clear: these aren't accidents - they're design choices. The question is...can Snapchat fix this? Or is Snap a lost cause?Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.Thank you to our featured guests:Laura Marquez-Garrett - Attorney, Social Media Victims Law CenterAmy Neville - Parent survivor, founder of Alexander Neville Foundation‍Jonathan Haidt - Author of The Anxious GenerationPaul Raffile - Cyber-analyst and worldwide sextortion expertAaron Ping - Survivor parent of Avery Ping and host of the Superhuman podcastJim & Kate Sullivan - Survivor parent of Jack SullivanAnna McAdams - Online safety advocate and mom of EllistonPaul Solotaroff - Senior Writer at Rolling StoneMike Neff - Attorney, Neff Injury LawSarah Gallagher Trombley - former Snapchat Exec and Founder of Digital Mom Media

According to a new book, the average teen spends nine hours a day on a screen. Nine hours. Even more alarming, we continue to learn about BIG TECH companies (like Facebook and Instagram) and their algorithms that hijack our kids’ attention. Snapstreaks, Likes, Shares, you name it: These manipulative measures lead to more screen time. One […]

Collecting flames is the name of this new trend and it's purpose is to boost egos of people. The goal of this game is to have as many Snepstreak as possible with as many people as possible and share milestones with others.

Å holde liv i snapstreaken kan virke som et av de viktigste gjøremålene til dagens ungdom. Men hva i alle dager betyr dette?

Um grupo de pessoas trabalhando em um grupo de empresas de tecnologia manipula os pensamentos de bilhões de pessoas todos os dias, diz o "design thinker" Tristan Harris. Das notificações do Facebook aos Snapstreaks e às exibições automáticas do YouTube, todos estão competindo por uma coisa: nossa atenção. Harris compartilha como essas empresas vivem às custas de nossa mente para o próprio lucro delas e invoca um renascimento de projeto em que nossa tecnologia, em vez disso, nos encoraje a viver a linha de tempo que queremos.

Muchas personas que trabajan en un montón de empresas de tecnología, manipulan los pensamientos de miles de millones de personas cada día, dice el pensador de diseño Tristan Harris. Desde las notificaciones de Facebook a Snapstreaks, hasta las reproducciones automáticas de YouTube, todos están compitiendo por una cosa: tu atención. Harris comparte cómo estas compañías, se aprovechan de nuestra psicología para su propio beneficio económico y pide un renacimiento de diseño, en el que nuestra tecnología nos anime a vivir la línea de tiempo que queremos.

Quelques personnes travaillant dans quelques entreprises de technologie dirigent les pensées de milliards de personnes chaque jour, d'après le penseur en conception Tristan Harris. Des notifications Facebook aux Snapstreaks en passant par la lecture automatique de YouTube, elles sont en compétition pour une chose : votre attention. Harris partage comment ces entreprises jouent de notre psychologie pour leur propre profit et appelle à un renouvellement de la conception au cours duquel notre technologie nous encouragerait plutôt à vivre à notre propre rythme et selon le programme que nous voulons.
