I know women who have been followed off buses and trains and had to evade their stalkers. Imagine if a random person can snap your photo and suddenly know your name, address, place of work, all via this app.

This is a gift to so many people who have ill intent - it's such a bad idea.

Perhaps wearing a burqa is the future for us all.
