• The supplied document-scoped review reported no mention of Snapchat or Snap Inc. in the specified UN Human Rights Council report, OHCHR settlement-database update, Human Rights Watch settlement-tourism report, and BDS guide; this finding does not establish absence from other databases, reports, court records, or regulatory materials ^{16, 17, 18, 19}.
