Post Peeple app for rating human beings causes uproar
Quote:
A new app that promises to let users review individuals has caused controversy before it has even launched.

Peeple will allow members to give star ratings to people they know via the app, much as restaurants and hotels are rated on sites such as Yelp.

The app has caused uproar online, with web users describing it as "creepy" and "terrifying".

There’s a whole lot of stuff here that the ICO and the Data protection Registrar should be getting involved in - but how you regulate something like this is going to be tricky. There is certainly no apparent way to opt out of being included on this system
