This social networking site is using AI and biometrics to ensure its users are only girls.
But guess what? It can't recognise the users gender identity so screens out trans girls. Who woulda thunk it?

Any number of things, from selling it to private data companies on the least sinister end of the spectrum, all the way to selling it to governments for nefarious reasons.

Isn't it obvious? I'm not sure if you're being purposefully disingenuous.

I’ll just add this to the list of “things my daughters are never getting while I still have control over their devices”.

I wondered whether the people who wrote that article are subconsciously threatened by the idea females could have a man free space and so are looking for more blatant reasons the app is bad

An app for women called 'Giggle'? No, thanks.

I sense a lawsuit or st least a sad faced newspaper article.

When voice recognition for a bank kept not recognising a particular person it was reported in the paper.

Who remembers "Menschn" Grin
