Snapchat may leave the video out of recommendations, so fewer people see it.

What triggers it
Real or fictional content about romantic or sexual relationships between adults and minors, or sexual activity between minors.
What Snapchat says
“we deny amplification to any content, real or fictional, about romantic or sexual relationships between adults and minors, unless the specific incident is newsworthy”
We last checked this against Snapchat's page on .
How to fix it
Remove the storyline or reframe so no minor is in a romantic or sexual situation with an adult.
Good to know
Skits or stories with a teen and adult as a couple, teen sexual activity storylines. Allowed: non-suggestive content about teens' identities or age-appropriate teen relationships, and newsworthy, non-sensational crime coverage.
