Internet shaming is about to get a whole lot worse
NY Post ^

Posted on 10/01/2015 2:52:29 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Idea for an ad campaign to back the new “Yelp for people” app Peeple: Because life should be more like a comments section.

The Peeple app is billed as a new breakthrough in transparency: Whether you like it or not, someone will be able to form a profile of you, and then it’s open season for anyone you’ve ever known to post their ratings of you. Ever been nasty to someone? It’s payback time.

“recipients of money will be those services who put up scads of fake positive comments to bury the real negative ones.”

My service will do both! I’ll put up negative comments under fake names, like hillary C., bernie S., and then charge you to remove them!

LOL, I agree. Although I’ve got to feel terrible for those under 18. Many of them will probably dislike receiving poor ratings.

I don’t think that this is going to go in the direction that people think it will go.

Some unstable types don’t handle personal criticism very well.

It will escalate disputes and people will get killed over it. Apple is exposing itself to massive lawsuits. They can block any app they want.

Think about the dynamics of this in high schools and middle schools

> I believe this is a hoax It seems to be one of those thing that keeps popping that is totally untrue

that's very possible. The left loves to stoke the fire and stir the pot to create continual dissension. They're professional trouble makers.

If this keeps up, the internet will end up destroying itself. People are not going to deal with this scrutiny in every day life.

If someone wants to weigh my merits based on subjective gossip and trolling, I wouldn't want to conduct my business with them anyway.
