No I don't but if the firebase sucks isn't it devs job to be knowing this? They might have warned their supervisors and simply disregarded, that is also another possibility in which case the blame obviously goes to higher up not the devs.

I mean this is just writing a script to access a public database, this is not even exploiting a code vulnerability. So there is an area between digital number waterfalls on the screen and accessing a public database which I would consider more of hacking.

I assume OP actually meant the additional info the government can get from where I authenticate with my goverment ID to a company.

Hypothecial situation: You wanna buy a sex toy.
If the goverment does store where and what you buy, they could punish you by withholding services.
And they might not say why and give a bs excuse or send you on a goose hunt to do more paperwork.
You can suspect that but probably never proof that it was the case.

Firebase's default configuration

I'm going to get on my grumpy old man soapbox. I understand making things idiot proof for end users. End users are idiots. But do we have to make things super safe for developers now too? Do we want to add a warning to rm so we don't accidentally remove the wrong directory?

Any developer who doesn't know to check permissions and accessibility on their database deserves to have their AI vibe coding bot taken away.

Thanks. Built from scratch.

I understand the reasoning for the public intent of the app and would generally support it within reason cause society right now amirite.. but its not so subtle real world application has now leaked a DB of catty women for whom the majority ALSO show massive red flags. This isn't a sexist men vs women critique, if there was an app for men to rate women and dox them I'd feel the same way. Love it when shitty people bamboozle themselves.

Alright, but none of that was really relevant to this comment. Why are you soapboxing on it?

Actually UK licenses are pink. Provisionals are green

I mean, we kinda already ended up there with the Ashley Madison hack in 2015. Problems with that site aside, I feel like it's kinda the blueprint for everything wrong with companies that retain personally identifable info on folks. If a company collects details like your driver's license, it's not a question of if it gets out but when. There's just no way to collect that sort of data and truly keep it safe.

But, it seems like we've kinda forgotten how to learn lessons in the modern day, so I'm sure this was an isolated issue and we'll never see it's like again.

(/s on that last part, just in case that wasn't blindingly obvious.)

What use is American personal info to a German anon?

I mean it's even in the app name that it's not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it's literally about "spilling the tea" aka gossip. It's pretty gross and can be used for nonconsenual sharing of images and even slander too since there's no way to know if what someone is writing on there about someone is true or not.

What about people who don't use this app, do they not deserve to be protected, do they deserve to suffer because they didn't use this app?

Let's be real, this app is about gossip, it's not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it's literally in the name it's about "spilling the tea" aka gossip.

Almost 250k petition votes now, 150k more votes in the past day alone.

I hear that, I just don't think this is the way to go about it. Digital reputation system that lives on some corporate dataset is just ripe for terrible problems. It's terrible for everyone's privacy when we normalize this shit.

You sort of started it with your comment. I don't want to be around people that feel the need to document everything on a website. Please inform those around you so they can decide to opt out.

It was literally just a gossip site.
Glad it got what it deserved, even if 4channers suck.
The male version of this got shut down too.

Oh hey look, the straw man is waving at you

Congrats, dumbest take you could have on this.

A public S3 bucket? Whoever used the app should start a class action lawsuit, this is beyond misconduct.

Imagine the other gaping security holes in this thing if storing all the data on a public s3 bucket flew under the radar until after release.
