Hey you know that @Snapchat screenshot going around? Yeah... it's fake. You can quickly figure this out on your own by looking up the @Snapchat account on Twitter and you'll see there was no tweet on that date. Plus this tweet from @snapchatsupport (THREAD) Image
This is a tricky one because it looks like a real tweet from @Snapchat with the blue checkmark and everything (indicating the account is verified by the platform). But this was likely created using a fake tweet generator, there are many of them online & they're abused frequently
Another way you can figure this out, try to answer the @SHEG_Stanford key question: 'What is the evidence?' There is no swipe up link or any way to find out more about this post. No additional evidence supporting this claim is a major red flag.
