- We are not responsible for the information you can receive or send via Nod App. Our users are free to share any kind of messages. We ask you to stay polite and don’t be offensive or do harm to anybody. Really ? Anonymous texting with no limits on message content and you (a) expect people to stay polite, and (b) want to denounce all responsibility ? Sure (b) is achievable (possibly) legally by having a huge disclaimer on usage of the app, but I think it's being somewhat disingenuous to think this won't be abused. Edit: Will there at least be the ability for a user to block / report other messages ? I assume as you have the device ID this could be achieved technically.

We understand all the challenges, it's up to users to bully or not. But still this can be a lot of fun. There already is opportunity to "mute" or "report" a message.

  Please learn from Secret. There are some things you should choose not to build. This is one.

    Secret was an awesome app, it has not only inappropriate content but a lot of cool jokes, stories, news etc. It was closed not because people haven't used it but because it went not the way founders wanted. We don't have over expectations in the field.

      My point is that the Secret founders, who thought long and hard about this, concluded that the social cost (harassment, etc.) outweighed the benefits ("cool jokes", etc.). I am imploring you to learn that lesson instead of repeating the same mistakes--and harming others.

  Seems kind of disingenuous to make an app that has similar functionality to a few others, including Secret which in some countries was legally barred due to bullying problems, and then just say it is "up to the users to not bully". You have to take some responsibility for the things you put out in the world.
