Overview
- The original crowdsourced Excel list was removed for exposing sensitive data, then a short‑lived RNI portal appeared before giving way to the currently active RPI platform.
- RPI reports more than 9,279 user‑submitted entries at launch and adds search, statistics and an inclusive gender option alongside a form to upload new accusations.
- The site allows refutations and attachments from those named, yet digital‑rights specialists warn the features do not verify claims or prevent defamation or identity spoofing.
- Lawyers cite Peru’s Law No. 29733 and Penal Code articles on defamation, privacy violations, non‑consensual sexual content and misuse of computerized files, with potential penalties up to five years in prison and administrative fines up to 100 UIT.
- Variants have spread across the region, including a separate ‘Candylandia’ list targeting women, and affected individuals are advised to file complaints with the national data‑protection authority or pursue civil and criminal actions.
