At first they tried to scrape Facebook data to add you without your permission - they got called out on that, so instead they have built into their "Terms and Conditions" (hereafter "T&C") that you hand over all of your contacts and information when you sign up. Without your contacts permission.
This is a nightmare app. It will allow stalkers to locate the people theyre trying to find, abusers to find the ones hiding from them or stalk and harass them, promote bullying and harassment of anyone, anywhere on the sexual spectrum, of any race, creed, colour, or political affiliation for those reasons alone, and the list goes on and on. Everything the app makers tried to do to get peoples information to the way theyre going to sell those reviews you (a) did not approve, or (b) never even saw because you didnt sign up, with their "truth license" (coming soon!) points to the app makers being MORALLY BANKRUPT.
This should have never been allowed on the app store. It should have never been made. The two behind this fiasco did not learn their lesson during the HUGE backlash when they tried to go public earlier, so it will obviously take a lot more to get it through their heads: people are not things to be rated, the potential for abuse and harassment is HUGE, and they have made a very dangerous app. There have been numerous articles, ripoff reports and petitions written against this app (cant post links, but do go search them out; they are very illuminating) outlining everything wrong with this idea and the way they are handling peoples information, and they continue to ignore. They KNOW its wrong - proven by the ways they are trying to go around the original - very valid - concerns of the public. They are doing the exact same thing as before, just more sneakily.
Julia Cordray said, "We heard your concerns." Bull. The only thing she heard was the sound of her own ego - thousands of people tried to tell her this was wrong and explained why, but all shes done is try to hide the most reprehensible parts that they objected to - and she kept right on going. This app WILL hurt people. And she will be responsible for it, all the while proclaiming, "its about positivity!" with fingers in both of her ears hollering "LALALALA!" like a child, against her detractors.
Speaking of positivity, one wonders why they would have a "truth license" if the positivity angle was really all it was about. There is a special place in Hell for those who make bank off others misery.
The review with the, "oh I just happened to wonder if there was an app like this today" - really? - the next paragraph stating, "I know there has been some controversy..." tells everyone its a shill. Such a transparent lie, and proves they are having their friends/family/employees try to put up positive reviews for them because they certainly wont get them from anyone else!
Their T&C state that all of your content becomes their property to do with what they will. Theyve more than proven they cant be trusted already, and now your information will be handed over on a silver platter if any of your Facebook contacts signs up on this app. Even if they delete the app right after, that information is now in Peeples hands. The requirements that you be in Canada and that it is governed by Canada law make no sense (and seems like a smoke screen) - not only did users contacts not sign the T&C but I guarantee that their information will be used whether or not they live in Canada.
From the T&C: "Once Content is published it may not be able to be removed," and by joining, "you hereby irrevocably grant to Peeple the continuous, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use your Content for any purpose whatsoever and in any format. These rights shall be assignable, transferable, and licensable by Peeple." There is so much wrong here I would need another 3 pages to list them all.
And the "truth license"? Purchasers will be able to see reviews about someone that were never approved, perhaps never even *seen.* And there is nothing the reviewee can do about it. THIS APP IS DANGEROUS and SO ARE THE APP CREATORS.
TL;DR
1. You give up your information and privacy, and those of your friends, family, and other Facebook contacts, when you sign up for this app. I dont think they will thank you for doing that to them.
2. You cannot hide or delete incorrect, hurtful, or hateful reviews of you, nor hide/delete reviews that give your location, work place, names of other family members, etc., whether specifically or implied by the reviews words/own location. The app creators wont delete it either, according to their T&C.
3. Those reviews will be able to be seen by anyone who has purchased a "truth license," whether they are true or not and no matter their content
4. Canadian law governs use of the app, therefore your own countrys laws cannot protect you even if you never gave your permission for your info to be given to Peeple.
5. The app makers have already proven they are untrustworthy; there is no telling what they will do with your information once they have it
6. Teenagers, children, domestic violence & stalker victims, minorities, and other groups of people already being bullied will now have a huge other avenue for abuse
Users have already been able to create fake accounts and sign up. There is also no restriction on age of Facebook account like they say there is (supposed to be at least 6 months) which means: Anyone can sign up for a fake Facebook account, immediately sign up for the app, and review someone they dont like or want to hurt or bully. That review will then be available for anyone who purchases their so-called "truth license" to see, whether that person has ever signed in to this app or not. Just imagine the possibilities.
If you thought being doxed was bad, just wait till youve been Peepled.
Protect yourself, and warn your friends and family. And count me in when the class action lawsuit arrives.
