TECHNOLOGY
Anonymous app 'Yik Yak' causes campus controversy
MAGGIE ROSSITER
entertain@kansan.com
According to an article on techcrunch.com, Yik Yak was started by two Furman University students, Tyler Droll and Brooks Buffington. The makers of Yik Yak say that this anonymity is what drives the app in so many places, including the app's main website. The names of the makers aren't listed and everything is signed from "The Yak" or from no one at all.
Yik Yak, the newest social media craze, took over Lawrence in a matter of days. The app is similar to Twitter in that you can post your thoughts, but what makes the app so popular is the anonymity of the posts. Once downloaded, the app asks you for your location and then places you in a five-mile radius range. Once placed in that range, your news feed is automatically connected to the app users in your five-mile radius.
"Anonymity is powerful, for better or for worse," starts a blog post from "The Yak" on the app's official website. "People ask us all the time why we felt the need to make Yik Yak anonymous, and the answer is quite simple. It gives people a blank slate to work from, effectively removing all preconceptions about them."
range from thoughts about Joel Embid and his decision to stay or leave, to targeted comments about specific people or Greek houses.
Panhellenic President Maggie Young says that she and the entire Panhellenic executive committee are disappointed in the app and how it has portrayed the Greek community along with the University community.
University students' posts
"This is not the sort of thing we stand for, nor is it something any of us would choose to be a part of," Young said. "Although it's easier said than done, the chapters and people who are specifically referenced should brush this kind of thing off their shoulders. The Greek community has a lot of positive things to offer, and letting something as inconsequential as this app cast a shadow over that fact would honestly be silly, for lack of a better word."
Not only is the app affecting the Greek and the University community, but it has affected high school students all over the country. Although the creators of the app say that Yik Yak was originally created for college students, the phenomenon is spreading fast in high schools.
If you Google "Yik Yak," numerous articles pop up about bullying problems in high schools and the worries parents have about the app. Al-
nough a post gets deleted if it is reported or if it is sent in as a screen shot to Yik Yak, the post was still able to be seen for the amount of time it was up. But even with these security precautions, bullying may still be the least of parents' worries.
According to an article from the Huffington Post, San Clemente High School in Orange County, Calif., was the latest victim of a "Yik Yak attack." And this attack went far beyond bullying. It was used to post a bomb threat that caused a school-wide lockdown. Police were able to identify the students who posted the threat using the location settings of the posts and the IP addresses of their phones. This is only one of the many similar instances that Yik Yak has caused.
Yik Yak may be the newest craze, but like other social media apps, may not last long. A Greek house or specific person may be the popular topic to rip on today, but it will be something new tomorrow. With no restrictions in the University community as of yet, the only thing for users to do is Yak on.
