Snapchat soon may have a Connected Apps feature that is similar to the functionality at the heart of the Cambridge Analytica brouhaha, which has Facebook writhing under congressional scrutiny and consumer backlash. The latest beta features a new Connected Apps tab within the setting page. The page displays the following text: “These apps are connected to your Snapchat account. Choose an app to control what it has access to.” Snapchat already allows Bitmoji and Shazam apps to connect directly to users’ Snapchat accounts.
Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all "free" correct? Of course, YOU are the product, your data, how you think. And Facebook messanger looks at your messages for your safety, hahaahahahaha, society really is mindless!
Well, if you have bothered (which I assume you haven't) to read the terms of conditions of these sites when joining they have clearly mentioned the data may be used to various purposes including advertising and safe guard which you agreed upon to share with when joining.
