Is Snapchat is an anti Privacy data mining company acting as Chat app?

They don't have anything close E2E, no plan on doing it. They request camera accesss all the time anyone is using the app. For me this is %100 true. Even Meta and their companies have some sort of E2E but snapchat out there just so obvious.

They don't even support Firefox on desktop web browser, all so clear. https://web.snapchat.com/?ref=snapchat_dot_com_login_cta

disadvantage
Snapchat initially was marketed as a 'privacy aware' chat app because of their disappearing messages feature, but it's well known they store everything permanently on their servers, disappearing messages or not. Avoid.
