VisitAnonymous App Fizz Causes Chaos at Vermont High School, Raises $40 Million
Jun 8, 2024, 10:30 PM
Fizz, a new anonymous messaging app targeted at Gen Z, has caused significant disruption at a Vermont high school. The app, which allows students to post anonymously and moderate content, has become a platform for rumors, gossip, body-shaming, and public shaming. This has led to widespread chaos and shame within the adolescent community, including speculation about students' and teachers' sex lives. Critics argue that such platforms are not designed for trusted community spaces but rather foster harmful behavior. Fizz has raised over $40 million in funding despite the controversy surrounding its impact on school environments.
