Episode notes
***this is a podcast episode created for a class project in conjunction with Lawrence Price***
Yik Yak is an anonymous social media platform that targets college students on campus with its five mile radius rule. The anonymous nature of the app opens up opportunity for harassment and bullying, and this is exactly what happened to Jess Hu and Anya Kornfeld and their friend group. During their sorority process, they were faced with doxxing, harassment, and cyberstalking, all by a faceless bullies, which led to leaving school, a death threat, and a police report.
Thank you to Jess and Anya for agreeing to be interviewed for this podcast episode.
Special thanks to Michelle Hong, Julia Narvaez-Munguia, Caroline Brew, Nicole Chang, and Kashish Dhawan for their voices.
