I'll take it a step further.

What if minors are on her dataset? How is she able to protect their identities?

How is her methods legal when pertaining to minors?

For sure, some are interacting with her.

I'm not sure what the benefit of putting people on lists is, especially those extremely vulnerable in society is, like BIPOC and disabled people.

It's a terrible look, and her blocked list has no recourse to opt out.
December 31, 2024 at 12:38 AM
I can't express in words how dangerous this is for her to do this kind of thing.

It's also an egregious invasion of privacy, and I don't see how it's not in violation of TOS.

I'm a state employee.

If she uses data against me in a nefarious way, I will form legal counsel.

But what recourse do her blocked list (now including me) have against her?

Again, she's requesting facsimiles of government IDs being sent to her.

How do I (or anyone else) know that sending HER a copy of my driver's license won't be used for nefarious purposes, and will be GUARANTEED to be stored properly?

She is absolutely required to be able to answer these questions.
December 31, 2024 at 12:12 AM
She's not running some social media site. She's a private citizen.

She has absolutely no disclaimer page. No fine print. Nothing.

She's harvesting data in spreadsheets.

These are drivers licenses which contain VERY SENSITIVE information on them. Extremely sensitive!

How is some random individual going to trust this person with that?
December 31, 2024 at 12:09 AM
Worse than that, what does she do with the ID cards that she requires people to send her?

Are they stored on a server? On a Google Drive? How are they deleted, if at all?

What's her credentials? What's her references?
December 31, 2024 at 12:08 AM
Yes. I was just blocked by her for pointing out that her data set does have cities.

Her response was that these are purported cities or locations by the user.

Her blocking every person for this in inherently unproductive and unhelpful.
December 31, 2024 at 12:06 AM
She does have cities.

See here.
December 30, 2024 at 11:46 PM
Yes, you objectively do have cities.
December 30, 2024 at 11:44 PM
Here's some.

Evermore is probably my fave album though.

I absolutely love Right Where You Left Me.
November 9, 2024 at 11:41 PM
Evermore will always be "just a sister album"
November 9, 2024 at 11:39 PM
Automatic skip for me.

I cannot listen to any of those 3 without being a complete mess afterwards.

I'm a teacher (12th grade) and I played the album in my classroom on April 19th. We listened to it all day. Haha.

I went to my first concert in 20 years in August (Avril Lavigne).

The last concert I saw was American Idols top 10 from 2004 in the IZOD center in Newark, NJ.

Never Grow Up is brutal to listen to.

Great song but yeah lots of feels.
November 9, 2024 at 11:32 PM
All I had saved to my phone were the 31 songs on TTPD.

It was on repeat for like 2800 miles.

This summer I drove through the very north Arctic up to the Arctic Ocean in NWT Canada. No service whatsoever. I'm driving through some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet and I hear "How Did It End?" and "I Hate It Here" playing. 😭😭😭😭
November 9, 2024 at 11:29 PM
Someone definitely likes Death by a Thousand Cuts from Lover. Haha. Great song!
November 9, 2024 at 11:26 PM
When I get back to my apartment, I'll take a picture of the ones I made. I think I'm at ~65.
