      I think it depends on your knowledge of the security features on each site. One could argue that Facebook is “safer” because of the focus of only interacting with family and friends, but there are potential issues with linking Facebook up with games or other apps, and those apps using your data in ways you weren’t aware of. Snapchat’s focus on the temporary pictures/conversations might mean that people feel safer because their data can’t be used against them, but that could lead to riskier behaviour. Twitter allows a global conversation to happen, but is also known for trolls and had the possibility that conversations can be taken out of context. Overall, I’d suggest keeping on top of security features under settings options.
