FBLA Exclusive Interview With 'Please Rob Me' Co-Creator

The 22-year-old Frank Groeneveld who co-created Please Rob Me that launched today, sat down with us for some Q&A:

FBLA:Is this vigilantism via algorithm? Do you see it as a prank or a cultural statement?

PRM: At first we thought about it as a prank, but while developing the site we started to realize it really is a big risk (and problem), so it became a cultural statement.

FBLA: Is the goal to hold up a mirror to social media disclosures to prove a point?

PRM: Yes, we want to make people aware that service like Twitter feed your data to the rest of the world also, not just to your followers.
