no. Even if there is a whitelist, you can always edit the code.

TL;DR

Our concern about chats isn't that someone might use a four-letter word. It's that someone might get molested after arranging a real-life meeting.

We hope that you aren't that stupid, but all it takes is once. Even if we didn't get shut down officially, nobody's parents would let them use Snap*!* any more.

And so if we allowed chats, we'd have to watch them closely. And that's not how we want to spend our time; we'd rather help people learn computer science.

So,

no. Sorry.
