"Whether someone commits sexual harassment on OkCupid doesn't matter when you are trying to buy their toaster on eBay."
You can choose to ignore this information, but for some users it may be a relevant signal. I personally would rather buy a toaster off of non-sexual-harassers. Also, perhaps there will be less harassment if there were consequences, i.e. a worse online reputation.
- jessaustin 12y agoIf data isn't coming from service providers, does that mean it's all coming from user reviews? ISTM that e.g. Yelp (there are others too) has been working through the inherent difficulties for some time, and they haven't exactly got it figured out yet. What if one of the first million reviews/ratings leads to a lawsuit? Does this all just go away?
