Brown University ‘Rape List’ Shuts Down After Falsely Accusing Student of Rape

First false accusation they have actually confirmed. You can't take anonymous complaints like this with no investigation and not publish false claims routinely, it's just not possible.

Curiously, the student whom Brown Survivors Speak says was falsely named as a rapist defends the group’s efforts. “Survivor support is my utmost priority,” said the student in an interview with the Herald.

As much as I hate using this word, what an absolute cuck.

"it's not our fault all we did was out him as a rapist without evidence"

I remember an interview on NPR about 6 months ago. The person being interviewed was defending the use of anonymous sexual assault tip lines (and of course NPR let it all go without comment), she defended the practice as "gathering intelligence".
I starting wondering, is there any legitimate use for this "intelligence". Are they going to go arrest or search someone based on an anonymous tip? Is this, in any way, admissible in a trial? Aside from being a great way to harass someone, or fabricate evidence for a false accusation, what purpose does it serve?

they only shut it down because a troll made a fake complaint against a guy who was both a supporter of their group and black. cis white males are still guilty upon accusation.

Here is the article from the university newspaper The Herald.
HeatStreet covered it accurately.

Two more details - Brown has lost both its Title IX administrator and the investigator. These two important roles are being covered by other staff who are unlikely to have all the training they need to do the job adequately. This is one of the complaints made by the anonymous Survivors Speak group.

The original group worked by starting lists in toilet stalls, students would add names themselves. The current group write all the names themselves, collecting info from a Google form. They propose to require a non-Brown (i.e. confidential) email address to discuss details with complainants, and try to detect fakes. They would detect MRA fakes that way but the normal "genuine" false accusations can't be detected by email.

Ask native americans how well open borders worked out for them.
