    Cancel the Hate was founded by conservative activist Jason Sheppard, who is best known for selling fentanyl testing kits with comedian Roseanne Barr, vaccine skeptic Dr. Robert Malone and right-wing journalist Lara Logan. The website says all reports must “include verifiable information about the submitter.”

    Cancel the Hate says users who submit data on others will not have their own personal details made public. However, a social media-style app launched alongside the website appears to have been exposing just that.

    . . . A message sent by SAN to the company that built Cancel the Hate’s website and app, DreamTeam Development, LLC, went unanswered.\

    SAN reached out to a user listed in the leaked data and confirmed that they had in fact downloaded the app. The user, who asked to remain anonymous over fears of retribution, expressed concerns that Cancel the Hate might be a “scam” after receiving an influx of donation requests to their email.

    Mmmmmm grifty.

      I’m curious about those fentanyl tests. “Created” by someone with “a medical background” ?? comedians and other various famous randos. I mean, if they’re legit then cool I guess? Does anyone know more?
