Social media giant Snapchat is hosting a live event today and is expected to announce a host of new features, including its own gaming platform. Rumours are rife around the launch as the firm, unlike many other tech firms, rarely holds such keynotes. At the time, Snapchat said it wanted to separate the 'social' and 'media' sections of its app from one another, however some users described the change as confusing. Last month, Snapchat directors also appeared before MPs for the first time, giving evidence to a select committee looking into the addictive nature of technology. They admitted the firm's current age verification tools did not always prevent underage users from joining the site.
