Snapchat limits users under 16 to sharing Spotlights with friends

In an attempt to guard underage users from being doxxed, Snapchat is adding new content control restrictions on its platform: Users between 13 and 15 years old will only be able to share Spotlight posts with people they follow back.

The social network said that users under 16 years old will get a separate profile to show Stories and Spotlight posts to friends that they follow back. The content for these users won’t show metrics, like favorite counts, that create pressure to rank up engagement.
