Snapchat Introduce New Features to Protect Teens

Snapchat has announced new measures and policies as the company continues its push to keep teenager users safe. So Snap, which is the app's parent company introduced features like restrictions on friends suggestions and a new system for removing age inappropriate content. It's also making it harder for strangers to contact teens. The company has also updated its website and launched a series of youtube videos for parents to learn more about the enhanced safety features. Kristen I actually was communicating with the company a little bit around this launch. One of the interesting things is that they're really focusing on 13 to 17 year olds if they try to add a friend and it doesn't have mutual friends with them, they're going to get a warning, but this is just the latest company that's installing tougher safety features. Do you think it's important that we continue developing them? I think safety definitely comes first, that's for sure.
