Arkansas Snapchat predator sentenced after tracking 13-year-old girl's location through app

An Arkansas man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison, followed by lifetime supervised release, after he tracked a 13-year-old girl through Snapchat’s location feature, according to the Justice Department. After tracking the minor’s location through the encrypted social media app, which lets users send messages and photos that disappear forever after a specified amount of time, 32-year-old Michael Ray Beam left a vape in her mailbox in exchange for sexually explicit content, officials said. Snapchat allows connected users to see each other’s physical locations through the app. Users can choose to turn the feature on and off. Beam used the function to track the girl to her Texarkana, Arkansas, home, according to the DOJ. SNAPCHAT LAWSUIT ALLEGES 8 FENTANYL DEATHS ACROSS 6 STATES RESULTED FROM PILLS PURCHASED THROUGH APP Beam also used Spanchat to “induce” the girl “to send him nude images and videos of herself, amounting to child pornography under federal law,” the DOJ said in a press release.

Snapchat is unnecessarily annoying yet hard to leave | Opinion | creightonian.com

There are many social media apps that grind my gears.
