This site, of which I was previously unaware, and which I have no desire to visit, sounds vile.

‘People are nasty as hell on there’: the battle to close Tattle – the most hate-filled corner of the web
The gossip forum Tattle Life is a trolls’ paradise, created to scrutinise the lives of influencers. It has made a lot of enemies. Will one of them bring it down?

Founded in 2018, Tattle Life is a gossip forum dedicated to dissecting the lives of women in the public eye. Quietly, without mainstream recognition, Tattle has become one of the most-visited – and hate-filled – websites in the UK. There were 43.2m visits to Tattle in the last six months alone, mostly from British users. (Almost all the people discussed on Tattle are British.)
While politicians of all parties fulminate about the social media giants, Tattle flies beneath the radar. This is due partly to the perception that its subjects – female influencers and media personalities with professional management and large Instagram followings, often working in the parenting, fashion, or beauty arenas – in some way deserve the anonymous vitriol, or should deal with it as the price of success.
