A 13-year-old girl at a Louisiana middle school got into a fight with classmates who were sharing AI-generated nude images of her
The girls begged for help, first from a school guidance counselor and then from a sheriff’s deputy assigned to their school. But the images were shared on Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed, and the adults couldn’t find them. The principal had doubts they even existed.
Among the kids, the pictures were still spreading. When the 13-year-old girl stepped onto the Lafourche Parish school bus at the end of the day, a classmate was showing one of them to a friend.
“That’s when I got angry,” the eighth grader recalled at her discipline hearing.
Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her. She was kicked out of Sixth Ward Middle School for more than 10 weeks and sent to an alternative school. She said the boy whom she and her friends suspected of creating the images wasn’t sent to that alternative school with her. The 13-year-old girl’s attorneys allege he avoided school discipline altogether.
Says smooth brain idiots who don’t recall the Snappening.
You can call them idiots but it is you who misremembers. Snapchat’s role in the snappening was a failure to crack down on 3rd party clients.
Snapchat didn’t store the photos (that we know of), a 3rd party app’s server did
I can’t misremember if I never read the original story about what happened, lol. But you are technically correct, it looks like it was from a third party saving the data.
The actual shortsightedness is thinking that data transmitted from any device is temporary. Snapchat would have logs at the very least. Probably chat messages, if not just everything.
