It’s a concept that’s sparked a lot of backlash, but after some tweaking by its creators, Calgary-based Peeple is now up and running.
The new tool that comes with the tag line: “where your character is your currency”, helps you rate people like you would restaurants or businesses.
When the concept was announced last year, many criticized it, saying it would encourage bullying and online harassment.
Originally, the app was to allow people to add users without their consent and users were unable to delete those profiles but that has since been changed.
For now, Peeple is only available on IOS.
