Imagine if an ex could 'rate' you on the internet. Or someone you went to school with? Or worse?? Even the tagline "Character is destiny" fills us with unnerving fear. Character can change, you know...
According to TheNextWeb.com: "The Peeple app will let you rate everyone you know. Yeah, everyone. Following an article by the Washington Post, revealing the real-life burn book, it has rapidly become one of the most hated apps on the internet (this week)."
Regarding it's potential launch in November, Chrissy Teigen had these interesting and relatable nuggets to drop: "It's YELP for humans."
In an age where both truth and gossip on the Internet can literally ruin lives, this #peeple app is horrible AND scary #yelpforhumans???

You can start a profile for your intended, I suppose, "victim" is an apt word...

She then quite rightly added...
at least I signed up to have the world judge and grade me publicly. I fucking hate this app and the boardroom table it was created around.

We have to make sure our kids/teens stand a freaking chance in this world.

Would you ever consider using an app like this? Or even having a nose at it? Or is exactly the type of thing that we need to protect our young people from?
