Taking time out of his busy Tuesday afternoon yesterday, a plain-clothed legal professional confided in The Advocate at a popular local pub’s beer garden, that the only reason he still has Snapchat installed on his phone is that it’s become the amateur drug dealer’s preferred method of communication.
Gavin Pooley, who said that wasn’t his real name because he doesn’t want to get disbarred, said that the image messaging app was once one of his most-loved – but has since been replaced by something less complicated and more practical.
“But yeah,” he said.
“My cap dealer only uses Snapchat because it deletes messages after you send them. There are ways around it, I know, but yeah. I would’ve deleted it ages ago, you know? The only ‘snaps’ I get sent these days are from Team Snapchat,”
“You know he’s not a professional because we’re using Snapchat. You still have to use Wickr to get Class A’s and weed funnily enough. Caps must be a Gen Z thing, hey?”
However, The Advocate reached out to a number of local drug dealers and their opinion’s of the once-popular app are much different from that of young Mr Pooley’s.
Choosing wisely not to share his real name, a mildly-unpopular local cocaine dealer explained in detail just why using Snapchat isn’t as anonymous as people think.
“Brus,” he preffixed.
“It’s not encrypted. Don’t put anything on Snapchat you wouldn’t want your Mum to see, friend. Now do you want a Bilbo Baggins or not? Hurry up and get out of my car. You’re not Bryan Fletcher, c–t. I’m not going to stitch you up.”
More to come.
