    She’s obviously a monster.

    However:

    Authorities were notified by Snapchat itself after the company flagged the message as possibly illegal, and FBI agents contacted Stapp at her home just 10 days after the message was sent.

    Most shocking part of the story?

      What about this is shocking? That unencrypted messages are read by governments? That it took them 10 days to follow up? That people still use snapchat?
