Their scored system seems flawed. For example, both Facebook and Reddit have the same "E" score, while Facebook requires you to disclose your real identity and to link your phone, and Reddit doesn't. They are worlds away with

People crying out loud: Facebook made us stupid! - is a bit disconcerting to me.
