NextDoor Says Users Who Share Posts with Reporters Could Be Kicked Off the Site
To be fair, at least in the Southeastern US, NextDoor is more...RacistDoor.<p>I&#x27;ve seen people ask the best way to report black people to the cops so they&#x27;ll be kept from driving through &quot;our safe neighborhood.&quot; It&#x27;s so full of dog whistles my neighbors dogs bark when I open the app.<p>The only reason NextDoor is freaking out is because they know there&#x27;s enough of that sort of material to really cause a mass exodus if it ever escaped the neighborhoods it&#x27;s posted in.<p>That said...it&#x27;s...a weird issue, to be sure. NextDoor tried to encourage an expectation of privacy but like...who actually expects that? Really. Anyone with a credit card matching the address they key in can get in. It&#x27;s not the post card only thing any more.<p>I could easily change my billing address on my credit card, sign up for some neighborhood on the west coast, and then change my CC address back. Done.<p>NextDoor has done nothing to actually secure the neighborhood, so it&#x27;s not like it means anything to say this to the customers. If anything, the neighborhood members could possibly sue NextDoor for overstating the privacy of their posts.<p>I guess the conclusion is: I&#x27;m not just throwing my hands up and saying, &quot;Oh well it&#x27;s online no privacy!&quot; I&#x27;m more saying this is probably the absolute worst hill to choose to fight that battle on.
