    “Rate” in the headline feels a bit misleading. It’s not an app for quantifying hotness, it seems to be more about checking whether the men you meet online are safe to be around. You can upload their photos to do reverse image searches to detect catfishing, search public records for criminal records, sex offender registries, indications that they’re already married, etc. and have anonymous discussions about men you are or have dated in case of any red flags.

      Geeeez, so as a man I could just be uploaded and lied about without me even knowing. Hell, someone could use my photos and I could be fucked.

      I don’t see how this isn’t seen as anything else than a privacy nightmare…

      I was just thinking that sounds pretty bad. Everybody wanted to shit on Zuck for that very thing but would be ok with a gender swap version?

      At least it’s not that. So a fucking nightmare, but at least we’re not retreading ground.
