Path, the photo-centric social network that just hit 10 million users yesterday, has been getting some heat for what some users say are spammy tactics to recruit new users. Digital marketer Stephen Kenwright downloaded the app earlier this week, tried it out, uninstalled it, and went to bed. When he woke up, he found that Path had gone on a rogue mission early in the morning, texting and robocalling an unknown number of his contacts, including his grandparents.
You can read Kenwright’s account here. It’s pretty damning, especially in light of Path’s tangle with the FTC a few months ago.
I haven’t opened the Path app in months, but after reading these articles, I deactivated my account.
