Snapchat's Bob Marley Lens
The new filter released on April 20 of late reggae icon Bob Marley sparked an outrage. The lens allows anyone using Snapchat to replace their face with Marley's. The filter added dreadlocks, a crochet slouch cap, altered some facial features, and darkened skin tone. By altering the skin tone, Snapchat unknowingly started a racial controversy and people were largely offended because they considered this to be a racist lens. Snapchat has received many complaints and has removed the Bob Marley lens but hasn't made a statement regarding the controversy.
