An application targeting a vulnerable demographic, that encourages people to put other people's personal information online, and offers a platform that is ripe for misuse and abuse.
What could possibly go wrong?
- wallawe 14y agoThe guy noticed a problem and instead of being pessimistic, he decided to do something about it and affect change. Whether you agree with him or not, you should recognize that he is only trying to help. Instead of being snarky and sarcastic, perhaps you could contribute to the conversation.
- s_henry_paulson 14y agoConsider the sarcasm as my playful contribution, as we both know there is nothing to contribute here because the goal is unrealistic. The idea that homeless people, a demographic known for crime and drug abuse, can be tracked reliably by volunteers so that other people can give them food is laughable. Not to mention if such a system did exist, it would be exploited by the people who would benefit by it, bored kids, possibly law enforcement, etc. etc.
