The company, which is valued at $7.6 million

This company hasn't even done anything yet and it's already valued at $7.6 mio? I need to start getting into the IP business. Easy money.

I don't see how this doesn't violate defamation laws through libel. This is essentially a database where you can document potentially negative opinions on people that anyone could look up that could damage one's reputation and easily cause social and professional damage.

It's not illegal to share true information about someone, even if could be harmful to their reputation.

The company can plead ignorance if anyone uses their application to tell lies about other people. They'll be able to argue that doing so was never the intended use of their product.
