The Warriors was alerted to this travesty from Lisa Honold, Founder and Director of the Center for Online Safety.
“I’m not making this up. CADCA has awarded Snapchat “Humanitarian of the Year”. Snapchat! The social media platform kids love and law enforcement hates for its disappearing messages and rampant drug dealers.
CADCA is the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America and it says its mission is to create safe, healthy and drug-free communities globally. Yet it’s honoring a company that harms kids’ mental and physical health by offering them access to illegal substances, counterfeit prescription drugs, pornography and sextortion. This award to Snapchat doesn’t make any sense.
How could CADCA do this?
My friend Amy Neville lost her 14 year old son Alexander to a drug dealer allowed to sell on Snapchat. Alexander took a counterfeit pill laced with fentanyl and he died. She’s started a petition to revoke this award to Snapchat and you can help by signing it here.
More about Snapchat’s failure to be humanitarian:
- The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) named Snapchat one of the 10 most dangerous companies in 2023 for sextortion, pornography exposure and sexual interactions between adults and minors.
- The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) singled out Snapchat as a product “of particular concern” when it comes to the sale of fentanyl to young Americans.
- Bloomberg reported that “Federal agencies are questioning Snapchat’s role in the spread and sale of fentanyl-laced pills in the US.”
- There are dozens of lawsuits currently pending against Snapchat in connection with the death of children from counterfeit pills being distributed on the Snapchat platform and fentanyl poisoning.
Please join me in signing Amy’s petition to revoke Snapchat’s award as Humanitarian of the Year.
