I imagine the founder's experience should be seen as a prototype for the idea that people can be rated like a taco shack and not expect abuse to come out of it. It's already bad enough when falsehoods go viral and ruin reputations. Same things have happened with Campus Rumors, Yik Yak, and so on we've all been here before. Don't expect the worst of any audience to raise the bar on their own.
Amusing how people freak out about app that lets you comment on other people with ability to not allow unfavourable comments, but no one bats an eye when presumtion of inosence is ignored by media and accusations are spread like butter (hell, some people (quite specific group) want to remove presumption of innosence from specific crimes I will not mention to not get shadowbanned today - and no one cares)
Yes comment on some app is easier than accusation of crime in front of police or just sucessfull accusation on other media like twitter, but still - everyone will know that app is full of crap and grief so it is non damaging, its accusations elswere that shoulb be fought. Ah, hell with staying unshadowed - let the Stones Roll.

Kind of ironic that the founder complains about the backlash while her whole idea is an app to rate people.
