Mozilla's Send is Basically the Snapchat of File Sharing (theverge.com)

Mozilla has launched a new website that makes it really easy to send a file from one person to another. From a report: The site is called Send, and it's basically the Snapchat of file sharing: after a file has been downloaded once, it disappears for good. That might sound like a gimmick, but it underscores what the site is meant for. It's designed for quick and private sharing between two people -- not for long-term hosting or distributing files to a large group. It supports files up to 1GB, and after uploading something, it'll give you a link to send to someone else. That link will expire once they've downloaded it or once 24 hours have passed.

    I'd bet people who "think of the children" would use a service like this a lot.

    I use to share videos of my wife

    I really couldn't care less if you do or do not see the point, as long as you keep those videos of your wive coming.

    Do you know what else they use?

    Phones! The postal service! Roads! Aircraft! Railways! Banks!

    Better shut down the entire society! Think of the children!
