I wonder if we are seeing "tinderization" of all online means of communication or it's just creepy approaches existed since primordial times and we just have the technology to record it(or is it that Russian PR teams started stirring up the things between the genders instead of races... ) .

How many secrets are there about (mostly) men behaving terribly, but they are hidden away because victims are worried how it would impact their reputation or employability. New victims are being attacked at this very moment.

Feels like there is a need for a product that lets people share their stories anonymously. The risk is that people will make things up to hurt others.

It's definitely a tricky space to navigate. If it were a private network you may be able to discourage false accusations.

I've heard of 'whisper' networks which warn people of unscrupulous behavior from colleges when they join new workplaces. It could be the realization of that concept.
