Trust matters.

An interesting statement, given that the problem that Snapchat addresses is that its users don't trust each other.

Otherwise they could send their embarrassing pictures by plain old e-mail with a request 'please do not forward'.

Instead they place proxy-trust in Snapchat to enforce that restriction; if that trust falters, so does Snapchat.

"But it's probably not worth the effort, they wouldn't do it"
