Peeple, a new app currently in testing, allows you to rate and review other people without their consent - as long as you have their phone number.

It's such a terrible idea I can't believe it's got this far!
"To add someone new to the site’s database, you must have their mobile phone number. Positive reviews post immediately; reviews of two stars or fewer are sent to the subject’s private inbox, from which point you have 48 hours 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 publicly defend yourself.”"
Imagine being a young person growing up in a world where people think it's acceptable to create an app for this purpose!

Yeah, but in our case we couldn't exist at all without it. You wouldn't want me to forsake my morning caviar, and have to sit on something NOT covered in gold leaf would you?
"institutionalised bullying :( "
Absolutely. Positive reviews are published right away, and negative ones send a message for someone to defend themselves.
Obviously in one case you could say something nasty with 5 stars, in the other, why should you have to defend yourself to an ex partner who has turned nasty?
Completely stupid.

Ab Editor, I'd hate to think you're sitting on a cold stool.
Everyone needs a tad of comfort.
