Google Pulls Ads from Juicy Campus Gossip Site

A better way to gossip

There is a better alternative to juicycampus.com. GossipReport.com (www.gossipreprot.com) has tools in place to rate gossip that is posted. If a piece of gossip is rated Trashy by a number of users then the programming automatically deletes the gossip. the site encourages sophisticated political discussion while still allowing users to post anonymous gossip about other people.

JuicyCampus is lame

Juicy is a useless and lame site. The stuff on there is nasty and doesn't have any purpose whatsoever. I'm not saying that I don't like gossip - I love it! but the crap on Juicy isn't gossip - it's just trash. Any social psychologist or communications expert will tell you that gossip is a communication tool. That means when you're talking about some event or some THING - it's not an opinion that someones a slut or ugly. I've seen GossipReport.com and it's way better like Dave of NC said. That site actually has gossip - aka proof. If you love to gossip like I do or if you're smart enough to know that gossip CAN BE A GOOD THING then don't stop gossiping - just do it on a better site like GossipReport. don't use something as trashy as Juicy.

JuicyCampus and GossipReport equally 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 reasonable for the staff members to 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 free publicity from the outrage over what is happening to innocent minors. These staff members include Elizabeth (hmm…) 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!
