In recent days, Spiegel has shared some of his most extensive political commentary to date. Spiegel - a 29-year-old, soft-spoken, product-minded chief executive who is not known as particularly ideological or political - even earned a nickname from Parscale: “Radical Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel.” The back and forth puts Snap’s founder, Evan Spiegel, in political crosshairs for the first time. “Racial violence and injustice have no place in our society and we stand together with all who seek peace, love, equality, and justice in America.” “We will not amplify voices who incite racial violence and injustice by giving them free promotion on Discover,” Snap said earlier on Wednesday.

That decision provoked a searing statement from Trump’s campaign manager and instantly made Snapchat and its CEO a flashpoint in the escalating fight between Trump and tech. Snapchat’s parent company, Snap, on Wednesday said that it would stop promoting Trump’s campaign account on its Discover tab, which has been a strategic priority for Trump to reach the younger voters who are Snapchat’s core audience. Donald Trump’s campaign expanded its war against Silicon Valley tech companies on Wednesday to include Snapchat, blasting the platform for taking some of the most aggressive measures yet to curtail Trump’s incendiary rhetoric.
