Teenagers who use the app Depop to buy and sell clothes are dealing with a flood of inappropriate messages on a daily basis. A new report from Business of Fashion and an Instagram account called"Depop Drama" both document the"dark side" of the clothing resale app, where anonymous users badger sellers with requests for nude pictures. The issue is hardly unique to Depop, but the 219-employee startup is having difficulty curbing the inappropriate messages, according to BoF.
