How it works: Snapchat uses algorithms to distribute personalized content to users both via its Stories tab, which features content from professional media publishers and popular creators, and via its Spotlight tab, which shows the best content created from everyday Snapchat users. The guidelines will be available in Snapchat's Family Center, a portal within the app that lets parents with children under 18 on the platform see their child’s friend list and with whom they’re communicating.Now, Snapchat is making them public to give parents more assurance about what their teens see on the app. Why it matters: To date, only vetted publishing partners and professional creators on the platform have had access to the guidelines.


Snapchat on Wednesday said it will begin publishing guidelines that detail what types of content gets algorithmically distributed in its app to users.
