Snapchat’s owner has hired a longtime online safety advocate as its first global head of platform safety, Snap Inc. told Reuters on Wednesday, as the company continues to ramp up efforts around user safety and as social media firms face mounting global pressure from regulators and lawmakers.
Snap said that after a long search it hired Jacqueline Beauchere, who will represent its safety work to regulators, lawmakers, and partners and help advise on new policies and initiatives.
