Can apps get victims to report workplace harassment?


On an anonymous app such as StopIt, victims don't have to worry that their voice might be identified, reducing the chance they might be retaliated against for speaking up.

Last year, the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy theatre and school became the epicentre of a conversation about assault, harassment, and how they're reported when it banned the host of a regular show after he was accused, on Facebook, of raping multiple women. 

Not that UCB, which has outposts in both New York and Los Angeles, didn't have its own official channels for reporting misconduct. It did, among them a hotline, counsellors available in both locations, and a human resource department.
