Men being disgustingly awful regarding women online? Colour me totally depressed and unshocked! I hope that Vinted are now taking the necessary technical and legal steps to safeguard their users and that they rapidly expand their customer service team!

@@DeeExailProductions I don't know the specifics of how the mentioned site sourced the images, but there are steps that Vinted can take that make it very hard for the average yahoo to just scrape images from their sites / apps and and also make it easier to find them if they do. They should be proactive in looking for said images and then take aggressive legal action when they do and if they leverage copyright law (which I reckon they can with the right Ts&Cs) they will get service providers and other tech companies to take action very quickly. So yeah, they can't stop men being pigs, but they can make it hard to do and costly to keep doing and push them to being much harder to access - which would help and is not beyond the realms of being reasonable for a billion dollar tech firm to manage.

Re affordability, it’s a mostly (not only) British thing. I live in the U.K. and recognise how tight money has become. I however have 3 grown-up kids in Denmark between 24 and 30yo, and there things are very different. They all live independently, none of them have any debt (universities are free, and you are paid an allowance whilst studying), wages are way higher that here, my youngest is working for a cleaning company which clean at hospitals, and he’s just under £40k a year, and their living costs (they all rent) is about 1/5th of their month take-home income. They use bikes to get to/from work, so no cost on that either, but public transport is ridiculously cheap anyway. Point being, none of them are short of money. My youngest however do use Vinted, but mostly to source very particular things he wants that are no longer in shops. Point being, costs of many things have gone up globally, but thinking that this has caused a living crisis all over, is simply untrue.

I reported this to depop as I found this quite distressing that mine and other women’s pictures were unknowingly being sexualised by a stranger but they said they couldn’t do anything about it.

Why would you ever go to Vinted about an issue of this severity? None of that makes sense at all.

Heres the thing though. This spot light is the kind of thing that will result in restrictions and regulations that wont harm the company but will make selling and buying harder. When the very very vast majoirty of people have a fine experience. An individual case or a handfull of potentially dangerous are not representive of the majority of the app and sometimes we should just trust people to not buy dumb ass stuff and if they do thst should be on them. That sucks for that guy but that could have happened buying off ebay and you are literally discouraged from sending packages to your home address. This just feels like making an issue out of not alot

The growth has happened as its easy to do online. We've had or we had in the 80s jumble sales, regularly at the church hall. I'd go regularly as a kid in the 80s. Its nothing knew, its just easier to do than a jumble sale. The problem with these apps is lots of people can't be bothered to do their own research. Being in IT I see it all the time, users not being interested in the history of apps, not bothering to do their own research. Lets take Temu for example. Heard someone at work raving about buying cheap t-shirts. Ignoring the human rights issues of China, the sweat shops, never questioning why its so cheap and not thinking about shipping all that tat from China. The issue here is much like Fast Fashion. That was clearly a bad idea but influencers and buyers gave no shits so kept buying.

They only issue I can see here of any concern if that vinted did not close the messaging system on the account which was shut down, everything else is out of their control, its almost impossible to monitor items which have been recalled as some of them get fixed for instance and then are released again, that's a minefield even ebay and amazon cant traverse, so really its unfair to suggest they are doing something dark behind the scenes when this is normal behaviour. You certainly cant blame vinted for people perving over womens photos. Seems to me very little of concern was found which simply does not justify this title of this video in any way, Vinted should really ask for a takedown here. I do however think their support section needs work but ebays is far worse, every large companies with over 250k customers should be forced to provide a support service by phone or live chat with an actual person as a bar minimum.

The public have slowly come to accept police failure since Theresa May started to underfund the service. Subsequent conservative administrations continued that trend. Most people now accept that it is more likely than not that the police will find an excuse not to investigate crimes and so don't even bother to report them. The police then claim that crime is down when it is in fact reporting that is down because of lack of trust in the service. They might make an exception for you if you are a high profile person like Taylor Swift or a Judge or an MP. The police service is no longer fit for purpose and the conservatives are not the party of law and order.

Admittedly i'm only 6 mins in but I'm already annoyed. Let adults make their own decisions, if they want to buy used cosmetics or second hand electricals what is YOUR problem? if Vinted was to do all those checks they would need to charge and one of the reasons ppl buy on it is because it is cheap. So from the competition perspective you're lobbying for the market to be less competitive for customers. All those "protections" and "guarantees" well-meaning people demand come with a price tag and eventually the measures turn against those who want to be able to choose. When the government wanted to limit numbers of repossessions banks had to tighten up their affordability criteria resulting in people being unable to take a mortgage even if their rent is currently higher than a mortgage repayment would be. If you want landlords to stick to particular standards the cost of it must be passed on the renter. What if I'm happy to live in a substandard but cheap accommodation for a period of time which would allow me to save money for a decent deposit? What if i don't mind buying maybe even faulty hairdryer on Vinted because i know i have skills to repair it. Some people find it gross wear second-hand clothes but some don't mind and it is not your place to tell them how they should feel about it. Using Vinted is not mandatory as long as the descriptions are clear and not misleading it's fine. Don't like it - don't use it, there are plenty of places you can do your shopping instead.
