To Ogle or Not to Ogle?

In my opinion, if you have an opinion about something and you want to make it public, then sign your name and stand behind it.  PERIOD. 

It’s no surprise to me that cyber bullying and hate crimes are popping up on social media apps like Ogle.  When cowards have a platform to spread hatred anonymously, trust me, they’ll come out of the woodwork and tarnish people’s reputations.  That is exactly what happened at a local high school and seems to be happening across the country. 

What is Ogle?

It’s a social media app that high school and college students use anonymously.  While the creators of Ogle claim that it is a social place for positive group discussions, they haven’t set up clear rules and policies for unacceptable content. They also suggest that users be 17 or older.  Hmm. Most high school students are between the ages of 14 and 18.

Talk to your high school or college kids to see if they use Ogle and how it is received on their campuses.  I’m curious to see how this app will vet out.  Please share with me your experiences with Ogle.
