*shakes head*
This is downright disgusting.
I see legal actions coming your way ....
Gossip Report
I just checked it out and I am going back to sign up. They had some fun comments up already. It is funny (sick) how over half the people in the pole on this site voted that freedom of speech is unethical and the site should be shut down. Ridiculous.
The website
This is the most disgusting website to come around in awhile. Kids in our comunity are afraid to go to school because of the trash that is being talked about them.
You claim that you don't want to people to be mean etc.. about others but your site has no way of stopping people from doing such, therefore you ARE liable for content.
As I saw on the Today show, the state of New Jersey is and will find a way to end discusting websites like this. I can't wait for other states to join in and start lawsuits to bring you to you knees.
How friggin stupid are the people that put this together in NOT thinking that it would lead to threats, and general disrespect of people towards each other. In today's society people are hiding behind their keyboards to talk s#$% about others. Nice job for promoting such crap.
Your time is coming and I hope you all end up behind bars.
This website is extremely harmful
The creators and promoters of the "gossip report" website are completely wrong. Their website should be held accountable because of its recklessly poor monitoring practices. First, anyone can place personally identifying information such as pictures, videos and last names on the website without that person's consent. Second, anyone can post any information about that person anonymously. Third, staff members of the website have repeatedly claimed that they will not remove information that are lies and/or hurtful to people. At the very least, there is no way that the staff members can verify all the posts that are lies and/or hurtful. Fourth, there is evidence that students at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Washington are being targeted with vicious, graphic postings that are not being removed from the website by the staff. Fifth, there is a pattern of conduct by the staff members that indicate they are reveling in free publicity from the outrage over what is happening to innocent minors. These staff members include Elizabeth Bloch, Ashley Murphy, and "investor" David Chase who runs a criminal background organization called "Castle Branch" out of North Carolina.
All of this leads to the conclusion that the operators of this website do not want to reasonably safeguard innocent minors from harm. See the following article:

Without immediate changes in the way this website operates, there should be immediate legal action against the site, laws that prevent similar sites from being established so recklessly in the future, and boycotts of everything their creators do to earn a financial living related to this site.
Thanks for listening!
