Here’s how it works. If you want to create a Peeple account for somebody, all that you need is their cell phone number (and never mind that there’s no way to even check if the number belongs to them.) Once the account is set up, they will start getting text messages – which they didn’t ask to receive – when they get new “reviews” on their Peeple profile. Here’s the kicker: even putting all of that aside, if you want to respond to the reviews or report someone for harassment, you have to “verify” your account. Essentially, Peeple is blackmailing the victims of harassment. And no, there is no way to “opt-out” or delete a Peeple profile.

Peeple, on the other hand, allows you no moderation over anyone else’s comments on you; and as PC Authority alludes to, it’s a literal nightmare for LGBTQ people. If any prospective employer, neighbor, stalker, ex, family member, or anyone else can look up a closeted LGBTQ person in a space they have no control over, it will destroy lives. Make no mistake.

CEO: "When another user makes a negative comment about you (2 stars or less) the comment does not go love right away. It goes into your inbox on the app, you will be notified, and now you have 48 hours timer [sic] to work it out with the user. If you cannot turn a negative into a positive the comment will go live and then you can publically defend yourself."

wow

I'd heard a lot about this app, but haven't seen it anywhere

It'll be available next month.

Um well this app is high-key trash and it's a good thing I haven't made any enemies.

Can you imagine what people could do if, say, a celebs phone number was leaked and someone made an account for it?

The number is not shown on your profile. It wouldn't be a big deal if someone made a page for a celeb, they get negative comments all the time anyways and it wouldn't affect their relationship/ jobs etc.

Mess.

From what I read, you get messages sent straight to your phone, and only one person has to know the number and create an account. If this was a personal use phone of the celeb, they would probably be spammed around the clock until they changed their phone number...which I guess would happen anyway if their phone number was leaked.

Sounds funny hehe

I don't really follow this but it sounds horrendous

A mess. Tha messy gays are gonna be all over this.

This sounds so stupid.

Wait, I don't really get it. Is it like the miauw Meow Meow Beenz from Community but then with comments?

Well it depends.

If someone you know makes an account for you, a picture of you will be shown on the profile. Peeple users then (with their real facebook accounts) will comment on your profile.

If someone says: OnikaSlays is wonderful! Him and his boyfriend are the cutest couple I know, and he's trustworthy too! ==> That would be posted automatically since it's deemed to be positive and people searching for your phone number and name will read it.

Yes, but way way worse.

What the ****? The point of this app sounds like **** talking for people who've graduated high school. Delete it, fat.

Mhh, that sounds horrible. It would be a fun app if you had control over your own profile but this is just mean. Wouldn't they be able to get sued or something?
