That’s not fair, he totally just brought on that black retired NFL player that raped a child.

Encouraging people to be safe and care about their privacy on the internet is not victim blaming.

I’m sure their privacy policy gave the standard promises about storing their private data in a secure way, which _they did not do. _

This is what people want to warn others of. The developers of Tea are hardly the only offenders. Definitely not an example of victim blaming.

A group of people with the intention of privately sharing details of people in order to track their behavior is definitely going to lead to doxxing. Maybe I’m getting the wrong idea, but it sounds like they are sharing the names of people they went on dates with. I assume that would include the city or town the date occurred which would infer where abouts they live. Given enough “reviews” of a single person I’m sure there would be sufficient info to call it doxxing.

Thanks I fixed it

I agree 100% that women face many more dangers especially in the dating scene than men. I’m all for having resources available for them to remain as safe as possible.

I don’t see how a Rate My Professor type app would work well for dates. I feel like people would only spend the time to rate poor dates. If you had a really good date with someone, you would presumably start dating them so why would you let everyone else know they are a good person to go out with? I have no doubt there are some awful people out there that others should be warned about, but this type of app is a bit too risky to justify that in my opinion.

The background check feature sounds much more legit, but I don’t think a group chat feature needs to exist along side it.

All that being said, anyone enjoying the doxxing of others is just an asshole. There’s definitely nothing fair about it from either side.

I 100% agree that it isn’t relevant to the doxxing. I dont think the doxxing is warranted at all from either side. Most of what I saw about the app is just from various social media users as well as the Google PlayStore reviews. Personally I find it hard to believe the app wasn’t made with the purpose to dox people just based on the name alone. The ads make it seem like a safespace for women and if that’s all it was meant to be then it for sure had a very unfortunate name.

I’m all for groups of safe spaces for women. Especially when it’s designed to keep them safe while dating. I have my doubts that Tea was that. Even if it was advertised as such, “tea” is slang for the word gossip. I’ve heard stories from several sources that it was used to dox people as well. Not saying what happened to the users is right. I think some users here are just feeling smug that this might cause the app to fail or shut down.

Considering that “tea” is common slang for gossip I’m not convinced there was many of the latter former.

Which is not a good reason to upload photos of drivers licenses.

Thanks for claryfing. I’m not well versed in using git, but does the PR mean that all the work to change the pronouns was already done? All the owner of the repo had to do was accept the changes?

I didn’t find any specifics in that article. What does it mean that the documentation was asked to be more gender neutral? I can’t think of any gendered documentation I have read from any other projects.

Android users do not need an app store to install apps onto their devices. Apple not only requires it, but only offers their own storefront and if i remember correctly, they take about 30% of all sales. Companies used to get around that by redirecting customers to a website that doesn’t use the app store to make purchases. Apple then banned those apps from their store making them no longer available to iPhone users. This has nothing to do with allowing people to install incompatible applications on apple devices.

This is a part of how any business is valued. You don’t just buy the building, stock, brand name, etc. You also buy the customer base. Any place you’ve ever done business with that later got sold, has made you a part of the sale technically.
