The app is called Secret. It is very similar to springform and Ask.fm.What app?
Definitely different than how described to me.Basically Secret is similar to PostSecret if anyone ever stumbled on that online. Post a picture, write something with the picture, essentially tell your secrets but it be anonymous. It shows you secrets from people in your contact list who have the app, and people in their contact list who do. Cheerleaders started using it to bully other athletes, make rude comments and (probably the main reason many gyms are forbidding use of it now) posting peoples' naked pictures with their names displayed as who it is.
I had this about about 2 months ago, when it got really popular in my school. It was used basically throughout the entire state as a way to expose people and talk badly about them. It was so disgusting and schools around the state started taking serious action for this. It may be anonymous but the Terms state that if needed, the police can have your information.
Did the schools ever verify that the posts were real?I'm going to date myself a tad, but this reminds me of the whole Juicy Campus site circa my college years-ish. Crazy. People anonymously posted whatever they wanted about particular people at school. It caused a lot of drama and some schools even expelled kids based on what was posted about them. Ex: Anonymous Annie posts an entire list of drugs that Suzie Student does and the classes she cheated in. Boom. Suzie is expelled from Duke/Yale/whatever.
