What is the next thing people will rate online?

Answer: other people

An app scheduled to launch in November called Peeple allows citizens of the world to rate and comment — give unsolicited feedback — on their fellow human beings. And so far, the response is not positive.

"The bottom line is this is extremely creepy," Paul Bernal, law lecturer and privacy advocate at the University of East Anglia told BBC News. "It is an ideal trolling tool."

The Twitterverse is aflood with comments on the up-and-coming app:

This is a real app. It needs not to be. #peeple pic.twitter.com/QpeDnwhujp — christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) October 1, 2015
Here's my question about #Peeple: what adult, other than a harasser or stalker, wants this? Who wants to rate people this badly?! — Amadi (@amaditalks) October 1, 2015
 

And after receiving a lot of unsolicited feedback on the company Facebook page, the founder of this app has shared that she, ironically, does not appreciate unsolicited feedback.
