Bullying and misinformation galore

By thatonequietgurl   

Don’t use this app, all people do is bully and mock students by taking photos of them/their belongings without their consent. This happened to my sibling who used to go to Samford. Someone took a photo of him and typed out a bunch of misinformation about him that was just so blatantly false and it somehow got a bunch of upvotes, which I assume is all ai. These people need to be held accountable for their lies and bullying, get rid of the whole “Anonymous” name feature to your app and hopefully it will die down a bit. Only a coward would take pleasure in bullying others and spreading misinformation behind the name “Anonymous”.

Terrible app unfettered bullying

By Michelle zzzzz999   

Anonymous postings are rife for bullying and bullying is what happened to my family member. Don't take my word for it, read the article in The Wall Street Journal titled An Anonymous Messaging App Upended this High School. And even though our high school is not the one referred to in the article, Fizz app also upended our high school in just one week.
This app allows anyone to say anything about you, and the posts can be vicious. Kids don't know who to trust - is it one of their friends or "enemies" that are posting about them using pictures stolen from the victim's own social media - all used and reposted without permission. Then to add insult to injury, the app allows voting on these hateful, bullying posts.
How is this anonymous bullying allowed on an app meant to create "community building and connection"? Well, because the app creators rely on other high school kids to moderate the posts and these underage, unpaid moderators must reach a unanimous vote among themselves to remove any suspect posting.
The ex Stanford creators Teddy Solomon and Ashton Cofer say anonymity is key to more authenticity on Social Media so people can feel comfortable with being vulnerable. Vulnerable is an accurate description because kids are cruel and when there is no accountability for the harm they create, then vulnerable is exactly what the victims are - completely exposed to whatever lies and hate these bullies can dream up.
This app may (and I stress 'may') be okay on a college campus, but it most definitely should not be allowed to target our high school youth who already worry about fitting in and are struggling with mental health in numbers never seen before - even called a national emergency in mental health per the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Children's Hospital Association in 2021.
Do not download this app. And good luck to all that have. I hope you don't become another victim.
