Hey everyone, just a bit of context into what I built.
The essential question was - What do food tech companies despite being major competitors, have in common?
Their food delivery riders are all used as guinea pigs for online clout by influencers
You know what I mean, those videos where money or food is handed out as gifts to show what a generous person the giver is, or how they’re breaking the norm by showing kindness etc “…….”
Keeping aside my personal disdain for filming a good act for attention, the fact that they have no consideration for the drivers privacy even when editing the video is wild. You can make all those edit cuts but can’t blur the drivers face?
I built igotfilmed.com exactly for that.
I initially built it with 5 language versions for the majority i see in dubai - Hindi, Afrikaans, Nepali, Malayalam and Tagalog- planning to add more options later
Drivers can now report/submit filming incidents where they noticed they’ve been filmed quietly, their videos have been uploaded on social media without their explicit knowledge or permission or even times when they were asked for permission.
The idea is to create a centralized location where all food tech companies delivery drivers can be made aware of which areas are the most common for these issues and which category is the most common. And for the ones who’s videos have been submitted without their permission- I have a plan for that
The company where they work at etc is kept entirely private as it’s not shown on the site ever. Interestingly enough tho, 2 companies popped up all the time when I was collecting sample data (which is what you see on the map now)
The map legend colors do not denote the company. They’re just colors chosen randomly.
It’s free for them to use.
