Snapchat employees used internal tools to spy on users, according to a report Thursday from Motherboard. The data abuse reportedly happened "a few times" and was carried out by "multiple" people. Two former employees told Motherboard about abuse that allegedly happened several years ago...Motherboard noted in its report that it was unable to verify exactly how the data abuse occurred. Snap, the parent company behind the social media app, said that protecting user privacy is "paramount." "Any perception that employees might be spying on our community is highly troubling, and wholly inaccurate," a Snap spokesperson said in an emailed statement Friday.
