Yeah its very dystopian. I suspect many of the hard core users have some form of generalised anxiety and are in fact the type of people who shouldn't be using this app at all.
Apparently the app was originally called "Vigilante" before being renamed to Citizen.
These specific founder types are so painfully unaware. I’m sure it’s the same idiot who put out a push notification with a $30K bounty on the wrong guy.
They even had a dramatized commercial with the founders’ wet dream of some girl getting mugged by her car, triggering the app, and a bunch of men showing up at the coordinates to pummel the mugger and save the girl.
