Peeple App: Rate Human Beings
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-...to-or-not/
Quote:You can already rate restaurants, hotels, movies, college classes, government agencies and bowel movements online.
So the most surprising thing about Peeple — basically Yelp, but for humans — may be the fact that no one has yet had the gall to launch something like it.
When the app does launch, probably in late November, you will be able to assign reviews and one- to five-star ratings to everyone you know: your exes, your co-workers, the old guy who lives next door. You can’t opt out — once someone puts your name in the Peeple system, it’s there unless you violate the site’s terms of service. And you can’t delete bad or biased reviews — that would defeat the whole purpose.
Let this idea sink in for a minute...
This is scary stuff.
Blatant invasion of privacy and the ultimate bully tool for adolescents.
I have a feeling the courts will get involve with this App.

I'd not call it an invasion of privacy but it could / should be fodder for libel suits.
