The online presence of the widely lampooned purported app Peeple, which apparently allows people to rate individuals, has been pulled from the Internet. As of Monday, its website has been removed, as have its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Meanwhile, the company’s Instagram account has been set to private as of Sunday.
Its previous YouTube videos have also been yanked except for one, released on Saturday, entitled “Peeple Watching Ep11 - Viral & Global in 24 Hours.” It features the company’s cofounder, Julia Cordray, essentially congratulating herself on garnering so much media attention. Cordray did not immediately respond to Ars’ request for comment.
The app that The Washington Post famously dubbed “Yelp for People” has not actually materialized—its purported release date is “November 2015.” No one has seen or used the app outside of a few alleged screenshots. The app development studio that Peeple reportedly has contracted with, Y Media Labs, did not immediately respond to Ars' request for comment.
