Oh, I suspect they'll basically say "oh, but we're just the common carrier for the message" in order to get themselves out of trouble - utilising the same loophole as used by Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc...
Fortunately, it appears the thing is firstly, likely to be blocked by the Apple App Store (because it's in breach of a number of their conditions) and secondly likely to face trademark infringement action in the USA (because there's a firm there which already has a product called "Peeple" - it's a sort of web-connected spyhole for doorways, to allow you to know who's that knocking on your wee, wee door).
They're bragging on twitter about the number of people they have doing beta testing... I just wonder how many of those are genuine people, and how many are socks for various online mobs.
