THE BALTIMORE BANNER - The Nextdoor app, designed for neighborhood interaction, is facing criticism for posts that perpetuate racial profiling and misinformation. Users often share suspicious activity without context, leading to potential dangers and divisive discussions. The app, once a source of positive community engagement, is now criticized for baseless accusations and inappropriate comments. While Nextdoor claims commitment to a welcoming platform, critics argue for a collective responsibility to foster a non-toxic online community. The app's history includes past instances of racial profiling, raising concerns about the impact of online behavior on real-world consequences.
