There's no way a libel database could be a bad business model

Outside of the crap going on in the US fascist resurgence, women are generally defined as a minority that requires equity / special benefits and protections. Making an app to "protect women" by crowdsourcing information about potentially predatory / negative men is viewed as 'good', and would likely be 'ok' by many western country standards.

Making an app about women, with similar 'experiences' reported by guys, would be considered predatory, and would get shut down.

We can already see plenty of related things out and about -- like "women only" companies getting applauded by govt / media, while the same sources shame any business that doesn't attempt to get 50%+ women on staff. We shut down gentlemen's clubs for being discriminatory, but we cheer women's only spaces. Genders are not treated equally in the public's eye, and it generally skews in favour of benefiting women at this point, especially once it hits media/govt/courts.

I think this is the more realistic take on how it'd play out.

Using technology as a surrogate for community.

The treaties and international laws between these countries absolutely allow the EU to enforce GDPR against companies and individuals outside of the EU if it involves an EU citizen as the victim. I know this because I have to work with it every day and I'm from the US.

This is fucked up.

From the first one

One profile the New Times uncovered supposedly of a philandering ex-boyfriend was actually a gay man who had spurned a woman's advances.

Imagine if the genders were swapped in this situation

Yeah that's what the article is about

In theory it should be fine the problem is women always assume bad intent on the part of men, and good intent on the part of other women despite a fairly obvious fact that that's ridiculous.

The problem is there doesn't seem to be any system in place for review or correction. What if there someone who just doesn't like me and posts photos and lies about me? Not only would I have no opportunity to correct the record, but unless someone I knew who was on the app told me about it, I wouldn't even know because men aren't allowed on.

Starting salary for a cyber security expert is around 70,000€ and that's for someone who's relatively inexperienced so you would probably want to pay more like 90,000€, for these startups that's seven or eight employees worth of salary and they don't want to pay it.

The problem is it leads to things like this happening which kills their entire company.

Or they could do what they're doing now which is work with a consultancy company which doesn't cost anywhere near as much money but still costs quite a bit.

Other users have written about GDPR, but just FYI: There are a lot of laws that apply worldwide. You might not like it, but states really do have laws in place that they are applying to everybody in the world. Thailand has draconian laws about insulting their king and they totally do not care if you insulted him inside or outside of the country. They can't arrest you whereever you are, but if you ever try to visit Thailand, you will get arrested. And many countries also have laws in place about stuff that their citizen do outside of the country.

Of course they would. It's only allowed as long as the genders aren't flipped.

As someone who's stayed away from creating accounts like Facebook the concept of being encouraged to share photos and real identities of people who haven't consented to being on the social media site is really creepy to me.

Its like some random social media account shows up and you never signed up but a profile for you has already been made and has all these photos you never even shared on there because someone chose to upload them in your place.

I'd rather people choose not to associate with people who don't have an account that has vetted on safety than be opted into something like this without choice.

says right at the end: this is from 1992

"What clubs does he go to?" another person asked on a different post. "He’s cute."

Clubs? Are we in the 90ies?

“wouldn’t it be nice if women could stick red flags to a dude, to warn his potential partners in the future?”

Nope. Personal bias and people change.

Gotta be a special type fuckbrain to give this app a photo and a copy of your gotdamn ID.
