Snapchat is responsible for three times as many child abuse image offences as any other social media platform, fuelling a record rise in the crimes, police data show.The overall number of child abuse image offences recorded by police has risen by 22 per cent in a year to a record 30,925 in 2022, according to figures obtained by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) charity through freedom of information laws.Snapchat was recorded as being used in 4,293 of the offences where a social media platform was involved, three times that of Facebook’s 1,361, Instagram’s 1,363 and WhatsApp’s 547.

That’s 25% more than the 600 million monthly users that Snapchat, known for its disappearing photo messages, was attracting 10 months ago. For the year through April 2022, the monthly count rose 20%, the company said. “All of this was achieved as a result of the changes we made to our business and despite the deceleration to our revenue growth,” Spiegel said Thursday to an audience of investors at a meeting in Santa Monica, California. Those investors were listening for signs that the company’s plan to shift its strategy is paying off. Snap last year said it was scaling back operations and narrowing its focus to three priorities: adding users and getting them to spend more time on Snapchat; jump-starting revenue growth; and investing in augmented reality technology.
