Damn, if they had PII in a public bucket like that it’s criminally negligent. Well, at least it should be but I’m no lawyer
It's at least a hefty fine in the EU - enough to kill a business.

Remember the UK new safety law.

Uh... What's the tea app?
Edit: from what I can gather based on the last link attached to this post it seems to be some kind of app for women to talk about men they've dated. Why that needs drivers license uploads is a whole other question and definitely should have raised some massive red flags for anyone thinking about using it.

The higher of €20m or 4% of global annual turnover.

It's an app where women upload photos of men they're dating to get "the tea" on them (red flags, catfishing, etc.). I always wondered if something like this existed. Sucks that it has to, sucks even more if their users are being targeted like this.

Indeed, and the kicker is that 4% is on turnover, not profit. That can really hurt.

The drivers license thing is likely due to a law passed by the UK a few days ago requires all mature content to be behind an age check. And not a "Are you 18: Yes / No", more like "we will check using ID and photos of you".
It's the most hated piece of legislation in a while, with already 100 000 petition votes in 3 days to repeal it.

None of the driver licenses shown in the screenshot are UK style.

Woah, I just got an ad for this today, and was intrigued enough to see what their monetization model was (in app purchases/subscriptions for “pro” features) and took a big pass on it.

Talk about adding to the toxic nature of the world. Anyone thinking we should have a digital record of social reputation isn't thinking it through.

So like, when do we get a government-run service to issue zero-knowledge proofs about us so companies have no reason to store stuff like this in the first place?

It's a reaction to the toxic nature of the world, what it adds is a drop in the bucket in exchange for avoiding abusers

Strong disagree. Just creating another bully culture.

If this was an app where men post photos of women without their permission, you would he losing your mind over how gross it is.

It either doesn't work or means that they have your ID info anyways. There's no 3rd option

"talk"
They try to get a pass on this by saying it's about "safety" and reporting creeps. But it's filled with women posting dudes and gossip. It gives me the same vibes as those sites back in the day that were shut down because they were essentially revenge porn sites. Same shit different form.
