旧金山创业者Sebastian Mandal创建的网站CorgiGirls.com允许用户对AI保险公司Corgi的女性员工进行外貌排名，该网站在存在仅三天后被公司法律团队强制下线。[1]这个网站通过并排展示女员工照片并让访客投票选择更有吸引力的人的方式运营，吸引了超过200,000次独立访客。[1]
Corgi公司品牌负责人Erika Lee对此作出回应，公司声明表示"Corgi在该网站的创建、运营或发布中没有任何形式的参与"。[1]公司法律团队向Mandal发送了两封邮件后，该网站随即被下线。[1]Corgi方面强调将不容忍任何针对员工的骚扰行为。[1]Mandal曾在社交媒体上标签Mark Zuckerberg并提及Facemash，暗示对这一模式的参考。[1]
A website called CorgiGirls.com that allowed users to rate the physical appearance of female employees at insurance company Corgi was forced offline after just three days of operation.[1] The site, created by San Francisco entrepreneur Sebastian Mandal, displayed photos of Corgi's female staff side-by-side and invited visitors to vote on who they found more attractive.[1]
The website attracted over 200,000 unique visitors before being taken down.[1] Corgi's legal team sent two emails to Mandal before the site was shut down, according to the company.[1] In a statement, Corgi said: "Corgi was in no way, shape, or form involved in the creation, operation, or publication of the website."[1] The company added that it would not tolerate harassment of any kind directed at its employees.[1]
Mandal had promoted the site on Twitter using a hashtag referencing Facemash, the infamous Facebook predecessor that ranked Harvard students' attractiveness.[1] The incident raised concerns about employee harassment and privacy violations.
