The original hollaback website encouraged anonymous reporting and allowed anonymous photographs to be displayed of men that were alleged to be engaged in street harassment.
But there was no verification any of the alleged activity occurred.
And there was no way for a wrongly targeted person to have their photograph removed.
That doesn't seem like a tool meant for the US, though it seemed as though it would fit in quite nicely in East Germany.
Regardless, hollaback always received lots of good press and this article shows it still does.
But how did that original hollaback app with its anonymous reporting, no verification, and no appeal differ dramatically from reddit's /r/creepshots, or from the deservedly lambasted titstare app?
Topologically, they seem like identical apps.
Has the new launch addressed these problems?
