“DRIVERS LICENSES AND FACE PICS! GET THE FUCK IN HERE BEFORE THEY SHUT IT DOWN!” the thread read before being deleted.

Users from 4chan claim to have discovered an exposed database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase, belonging to the newly popular women’s dating safety app Tea. Users say they are rifling through peoples’ personal data and selfies uploaded to the app, and then posting that data online, according to screenshots, 4chan posts, and code reviewed by 404 Media.

    might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed?

    Well considering the app has profiles of guys with pics all uploaded without their consent or even awareness, and in addition to unaccountable anonymous gossip, the “pro” features include their entire background, address, phone number, etc? I’d say the doxxing app got it’s users doxxed and it’s really sort of a wash. I don’t even use facebook or post pics online and now people dumb enough to upload their ID can upload unremovable pictures of me? Cool.

    Imagine if there was a site for just guys to upload pics of cheating women without their consent and shit talk them anonymously without any verification of their claims, and if they pay a fee it includes her address and phone number and criminal record. Nobody would be cool with that. This isn’t different.
