Copy our data privacy policies too, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel to Facebook

Hitting out at Facebook once again, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel has suggested the social networking giant to not only copy its features but also its data protection policies.

During a ReCode conference in California on Tuesday, the Snapchat chief said Facebook has failed to sufficiently overhaul its user privacy protections.

"We would really appreciate it if they copied our data protection practices also," Spiegel was quoted as saying during the event.

"Fundamentally, I think the changes have to go beyond window dressing to real changes to the ways that these platforms work," he added.

Reacting to Spiegel, Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos tweeted on Wednesday, "Snapchat's implicit promise that photos really disappear combined with poor API security has lead to serious mass leaks of revenge porn. So no, I don't think copying Snapchat would be a smart move."
