SARAHAH NEWS
WHAT?
A popular anonymous messaging app has been removed from the Apple and Google stores after accusations that it has been facilitating bullying. GOOD OR BAD? Good. First time a parent campaign has got a dangerous app removed. Katrina Collins, from Australia, put up a post on online petition site Change.org. She called for Sarahah to be removed from two of the biggest mobile storefronts - Apple's App store and Google's Play store. The petition accused Sarahah of facilitating bullying and self harm, and quickly gained nearly 470,000 supporters. The app was then taken down from both the Apple and Google stores. Feednoly, however, is an app created by the same people, and was available one month later. |
