CBC deal with Snapchat using tax-payer funding to promote raunchy Snapchat clickbait

Canada’s national broadcaster has been using Snapchat - the internet messaging service popular with teens - to introduce sex, drugs, and polygamy, among other things, to children.  The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) signed a deal with Snapchat in late 2017, and has been using tax-payer funding to promote raunchy Snapchat clickbait. One of the 'stories', advertised with a photo of two young women gazing mistily at each other, is about the benefits of "smoking narcotics before intercourse." And another 'story,' which is about the sexual attractiveness of disabled people, shows a man in bondage gear. Still another introduces kids to the concept of polygamy! This urgent petition demands that the CBC remove this offensive content which is aimed at children!

Indeed, downright vile and salacious 'stories' are being offered by the CBC for the perusal of Canada's kids. And, make no mistake, children and young adults are the targets of the CBC's tax-payer-funded filth. The fact that Snapchat is predominantly used by young people is well known in advertising and media circles. 90 percent of Snapchat users are aged between 13 and 24 and use the platform for an average of 40 minutes a day.  By using Snapchat in this way, the CBC seems to want to deliberately go around Canadian parents, to introduce harmful and damaging concepts to Canada's children. This is an outrageous usurpation of a parents' right to filter what their children views on the internet. Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, TODAY, to stop the CBC from sharing such offensive content.  Yours faithfully, Scott Schittl and the whole team at LifeSite PS – Please SIGN this petition which calls on Canadians to support the removal of this inappropriate, tax-funded content from Snapchat.
