Hi,
First of all, thank you for bringing this to our attention and apologies for the delayed response.
We’ve now fully processed the reported malicious snaps and have removed them from the Store. We’ve also taken additional steps to review our monitoring processes and to ensure that similar reports are caught and addressed much sooner in the future.
Regarding the concerns about our publishing process; we recognize the points made in the original post. Over the past year, we’ve been actively tightening [1] our publishing and review policies [2], which in many cases includes manually reviewing the registration requests, to reduce the likelihood of problematic content appearing. While this has already helped lower the number of cases, it’s an ongoing effort and we know there’s more to do.
Thanks,
The Snap Store team
