Well, that did not take long. Snapchat’s legal team has sent developer Rudy Huyn a letter accusing him of “violation of federal and state law” for reproducing the Snapchat “Discover” content. The missive comes just 24-hours after the release of 6discover, a new, free app that pulls the Snapchat Discover content and bypassing Snapchat’s official app feature.
The issue appears to be about money, ultimately. Discover is a way for companies to produce and distribute content through Snapchat. Companies like Comedy Central, Vice, and CNN pay Snapchat for this privilege, in essence making it an advertising platform.
