- I swear, the government is watching us from Snapchat.
I'm not even joking.
♪ (punk rock music) ♪
- What should we do now?
- (friend) I don't know. Let's see what's going on.
- Oh, Snapchat locations.
Another way to get caught sneaking out.
- Oh, it's the Snapchat Maps.
Those are so creepy. I don't like it.
- It's a cool idea, but, no, bro.
- (friend) Sam's nearby.
♪ (rock music playing) ♪
- This has so much benefit to businesses.
- (friend) That's cool.
- This is scary, though.
This is actually scary.
- This is really invasive.
- (friend) Looks like everyone's at a show.
- See, that's what I wouldn't like.
What if they were all at a show and you weren't there?
It's like TFTI.
- (chuckling) When all your friends go to a party
and they don't invite you. (chuckling)
- First thought, it sucks.
(giggling) It's really sketchy.
- I'm kind of pressed. I don't like this.
- They're trying to advertise it so, like, "Look how cute!"
But it's scary.
I don't want people to know where I'm at.
I'm 100% on ghost mode.
- "Introducing Snap Map."
- Oh, I don't agree with this at all.
This is such a huge invasion of privacy.
- My dad's a cop, and let me tell you,
this is not a good idea!
- They're just trying to hype it up so much,
but I've seen this stuff on Twitter.
People are not liking it.
- (FBE) So this was the new Snapchat function
Snap Map, and since it was announced,
there's been a lot of discussion online,
so we're gonna show you some memes and posts
that have been going around about it now.
- Yes, I love good memes. Give them to me.
- "I literally just watched my man push up on somebody's bitch."
I've seen this one. (laughing)
- Damn! Oh.
- Oh my god!
You can actually see the progression of the car moving
to pick up this random girl.
Oh.
- See, that just means you can't trust your man.
You gotta turn it on ghost mode like me.
Gotta be sneaky, guys!
- It's dangerous, but if you're not doing shady stuff,
it's not that dangerous, so just don't be shady.
- I swear, the government is watching us from Snapchat.
I'm not even joking.
- "This new Snapchat update is crazy."
Oh my god!
Yes, Tupac and Biggie, they're all in Cuba.
- Guys, he's still out there.
We followed him.
Snap Map is the reveal of everybody there.
- "The new Snapchat update is already ruining lives.
Snapchat glitched and it's telling me
my best friend and my boyfriend are at his house."
Yikes!
- It's a glitch, huh?
- That is not a glitch.
Yeah, girl, your man is cheating on you
and your best friend's a THOT.
- That's kinda such an invasion of privacy on the lowkey.
- You know, they could be just waiting on you,
or a surprise party.
I just thought about that.
What if they had a surprise party for somebody
and then it just completely got ruined.
- "The new Snapchat is gonna make a lot of people para.
I'm only at work, boys.
Cammy, get away from my sister.
Pump her. Shag her."
Oh my god!
- This is where I say it's a little dangerous and scary.
- That is really creepy because it doesn't actually show
how far they are, so it's like you never know
if he's probably just creeping at her from the bushes
or is he actually just near her.
That's creepy.
- "Snap Map causing trouble.
Snapchat be ruining friendships."
- "Bitch, I saw y'all all together from the map on Snapchat,
and nobody [bleep] invited me.
[Bleep] all y'all."
- That is literally me when my friends
do not invite me places.
- Even if you do it on accident, sometimes it's like you know
that friend is not going to be able to go out that day,
so you just don't even bother giving them the invite,
but it's like, bro, no, that's your homie.
You gotta invite them either way, you know?
- I've lowkey done that a little bit,
where it's like, "Hey, do you want to hang out?"
And we don't really invite our other friends.
Soon, we're going to start getting text messages like this.
Like, "Oh, you're hanging out with so-and-so?
Why didn't you invite me? I was free today."
- Sometimes, you know, you want to limit who's with you,
and now you can't hide it.
I didn't even think about this!
Oh man.
All right, uh, I gotta go to my Snapchat real quick.
- "When you see your friends doing something fun
but they didn't invite you."
Yep, even your Bitmoji knows your mood.
- (chuckling) Look at her. She's like, "Bitch!"
Look at her face.
- The face is staring down at them, like,
"Why you all didn't invite me? Like, I see y'all.
Y'all act like I can't see."
This is me.
- Just go walk over.
She's, like, two blocks over.
Say what's up.
- I don't need this kind of reality in my life.
Honestly, I'd just rather keep a blind eye to everything, like,
"Oh, no, nobody's hanging out without me.
It's fine."
- This is what you got to do to not be this person.
You just never go out.
So it's like you never get not invited.
- "Y'all are scared of getting caught lying
and getting kidnapped, but this is why I'm scared
of the new update.
Damn, bitch, do you never leave home?"
Yeah. (laughing) Yeah.
- I can relate so much, honestly.
- Hell, no, you should be proud you never leave home.
What the heck?
What's wrong with being home all day?
That's me, bro. That's all good.
- People are gonna know how sad and lonely I am
because my Snapchat Bitmoji is just gonna
stay at home constantly.
- All right, now I want the map thing,
just so I could be a dick to my friends like that.
- It's just too much information.
People don't need to know that about me.
I don't want them to see my location 24-7.
- I hate this Snapchat update.
It's making me paranoid.
- I don't even know how I feel about the actual Snap Map,
but the memes are really great.
- People are joking, but it is pretty serious.
This is a serious thing.
- (FBE) So Snap Map is an opt-in function
that allows you to share your exact location
with your friends on the map, if you so choose,
but, as evidence by their spots, it has been controversial.
Why do you think that people are so wary of this function?
- Because people can find you
and see what you're doing with your life.
- It's just weird to suddenly have the choice
to see where your friends are at all times.
- It's like a stalker lab.
It's dangerous for people because, you know,
there's always those weirdos that add you on Snapchat,
or you have back on Snapchat on accident.
- You don't always know exactly who's following you
on Snapchat, depending on how your privacy settings are,
so it's honestly just like anyone can find you
at any time of day, and especially since it moves
with you, it's pretty much live right then and there.
That's scary!
I don't think this is me being paranoid.
I think this is honestly-- this could turn
into something really bad.
- I don't think it's that big of a deal
because it's not like they're forcing you
to share your location with everybody.
If you have an iPhone, which most people do,
you can already share your location with people.
If you don't want people to know where you are,
it's not that hard to not let them know where you are.
- With Snap Map, you have it where it's with your friends,
so that's a good thing about it, but at the same time,
it does start a lot of trust issues
and people start to get, you know, suspicious
about where another person is.
- When you're on social media, there's no expectance of privacy.
Say you're a musician or a creator,
and you want people to know your location,
I feel like that's really beneficial.
Or like if you're a business, right?
And I think those positives that come out of this
are much, much more valuable than the slight possibility
of someone using it for some sort of negative reason,
say, like, to stalk someone.
- (FBE) So when it comes to security
in technology and social media, how much do you find
yourself thinking about it?
- I always honestly think about it.
There's fans and stuff who follow me on social media.
I have always been a little just careful
with making sure that nobody knows which high school I went to,
or what college I'm at.
- I typically never mention my high school
because maybe I might just be a little scared,
but I don't want to be attacked, or I don't want people
knowing my high school.
- I don't know if I've ever actually tagged a location
because I don't like people to know where I am.
I'm not scared of people finding me,
but I just think it is none of your business.
- Since we grew up with it, we kind of have
become desensitized to it, so it's like when
you talk to someone that's older about it
and if they were to find that out, they'd probably freak the heck out,
but for us, we're kind of just used to it now.
- It's bad because I never second thought it
as to be like, "Whoa, this is not cool. It's crazy."
But I should have.
But it's just because of this day and age,
my generation is kind of just like, "Oh, I got a wild update."
And that's it.
No one thinks much of it.
- I just don't think about it because I know I'm a safe kid.
I'm very aware about my surroundings,
so I know if something's up.
I'm always with a friend, or at least in a group
of two or more.
- I haven't really been thinking about it until recently,
but social media isn't really private in general.
It's a fair game.
I don't think Snapchat should be necessarily called out for it.
- To me, it's like, whatever.
Big brands, they've always been looking at
whatever we've been looking at, what we're into and stuff,
and they've just always been in our things
that we think are private, and so it's like,
I mean, it hasn't affected me yet, so I don't think I should
really care that much.
- (FBE) So finally, do you think you will use
this function? - Hell no.
- It's already off.
- No. Not at all.
- Yes, I will be using it,
but only with a selective amount of friends.
- I do use it with five friends,
but I probably won't share it with everyone.
- Nope, absolutely not.
Nothing-- my mind has not changed about Snap Map.
- I don't think so!
I'm not gonna use Maps.
That's scary.
I'm not agreeing to people on Snapchat knowing my location.
- I'm not even gonna lie to you, I have.
Not to watch people, but just to look at myself.
(chuckling) Or just to be like, "Oh, I'm moving."
Like, when I was in the car on the way here,
I was like, "Oh, my car. It's moving."
- I kind of want to try it a little bit
because I'm just curious (laughing) to see
who's in my area, who's close to me, who's not.
I think it's a great idea, overall.
- I won't personally be using Snapchat Maps
to post my locations since I'm on ghost mode,
but I will be using it to stalk people.
It's horrible.
I think they should delete the feature
so that nobody can stalk anyone, but why not use it
(giggling) if you can?
