Appreciate the feedback here /u/xena — > This is a nice idea but feels like it could be used for stalking. So we make sure to only aggregate publicly available information that the creator released and never include pieces about them or from someone else. We also make sure not to aggregate any gated/paywalled content. The problem with having every creator opt-in is that that we'd never be able to launch the profiles…
I think most stalking is simply aggregation of totally public data. As such, I think "stalking" is a bit of an overblown term for it, but it remains the fact that in the common usage one could engage in this so-called "stalking" consuming only publicly available data.
however when this is done for nefarious purposes it's called doxxing (sp) by some - and that is usually done with the intent to defame and to push others to do other harmful, often offline things, with the combined info.
Which is worst than stalking imho / in most cases.
Luckily it seems that this service is not doxxing everyone on the internet -
I hope it will not have a field where people can enter a name and have it auto-dox people - and there would be some tripwires for when people may add porn stars / onlyfans / cam girls - stuff like that or example.
I guess it could also get nasty if certain (right/left) wing people were combined with ill intent - especially if you could trick the system into adding some things that were not true.
random thoughts, not completed.
I have a semi-old business idea that could use the tech stack this is putting together that would be helpful and easy to monetize - not huge scale like twitter, but certainly could be pop enough to make recurring money without much human hands on.
