What about people who don’t use this app, do they not deserve to be protected, do they deserve to suffer because they didn’t use this app?
Let’s be real, this app is about gossip, it’s not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it’s literally in the name it’s about “spilling the tea” aka gossip.
I hear that, I just don’t think this is the way to go about it. Digital reputation system that lives on some corporate dataset is just ripe for terrible problems. It’s terrible for everyone’s privacy when we normalize this shit.
I mean. A social database I feel is toxic in of itself. It’s makes forgiveness harder, it makes changing yourself harder. What’s the point in changing if people are gonna look you up in a database like this and perhaps forevermore treat you as if you are like that in the present day, forever. It assumes that humans are unchanging, that once a shitty person always a shitty person.

But are they abusers? You sure they ain’t just getting revenge on an ex, making them undateable. How do you even validate this information?
It’s gossip and toxic. Have you not seen what these places are on Facebook?
