Its co-founder Brooks Buffington said users are limited to 200 characters, and no pictures are allowed. The app was made for college-age users , for college campuses and to act as a virtual bulletin board. Although the app is meant for users age 17 and older, younger users can still sign up. Others have made anonymous bomb threats that have led to school lockdowns. This app is creating alot of cyberbullying.
