This is great from a privacy perspective, but how do they prevent false reviews?
Yelp collects personal information upon signup and they still have a fake review problem.
- whymauri 5y agoAs this site stands, could a department run an automated astroturfing operation? Seems... not good.
- jonas21 5y agoThey also seem to have no privacy policy, nor any way to flag inaccurate content, harassment, etc. Yikes!
- easterncalculus 5y agoGoing through all of the work to create the site, and providing two social media accounts and a Discord invite link without setting up privacy, verification, and anti-harassment policies seems like a choice. Creating just about everything but those things seems a lot less like negligence.
- judge2020 5y agoSeems like they want their 10 minutes (or maybe more than 1 month) of fame to spark the conversation of whether or not a site like this is good/legal/would work. If this service doesn't shutter at the first sign of (libel) lawsuit, I would imagine some political interest groups using it as a way of setting a precedent in their favor (on either side).
- jonas21 5y agoThat's what I thought at first, but they also have an "Enterprise" page where you can buy their data, so who knows what they're thinking. https://rateourcops.org/enterprise https://rateourcops.org/enterprise
