Tea App A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating

Don't want your information on the internet? don't upload it to anyone on or over the internet, it really is a fucking simple concept.
Posted on an article about an app encouraging different users to upload info about you without your consent. Yes, really simple.

There are no private spaces online,
your privacy is at the whim of whoever owns the servers
Which is it? It logically cant be both. I own at least a dozen servers.
There are no private spaces online, because your privacy is only protected by the people who own the servers. Your data isn't private to them, nor any governments who can compell them.
You cannot trust that any data you put on services, that you're not completely in control of, is going to remain private.
There are countless examples of services selling your data, hackets getting access to your data or governments compelling a service provider to produce your data on demand.
The exception to that are services where you can enforce your privacy through well implemented encryption.
For exsmple, I don't need to trust a cloud storage provider that is storing my data because it's encrypted on my machine using keys that only I control prior to being stored. My privacy doesn't require me to trust that Google will protect my data from insiders, hackers or hostile governments because they don't have the ability to produce it. My privacy is protected by the laws of mathematics regardless of how compromised the service provider is.

I guess if you think "This dude acts kinda rapey" qualifies as "personal information".
Which dude? How are you going to identify them?
Their full name, pictures and location would be required or your information about his rapeyness is worthless.
You're not going to have that person's permission to post their information and so you're doing it without their consent.

Yes, I know all that. I spent 25 years in tech, which is why I also know how to run secure services online. Hence my comment above.

The UK government can shove it up their fucking arse.
Sincerely, A UK citizen.
And here's your daily reminder that the OSA was introduced, championed and passed by the Tories in 2023 despite outcry. Sunak even said at the time it was a problem for the "next Parliament" to deal with. Now they're trying to blame Labour.

Its traditional definition works fine for this.
Just because women are doing it doesn't make it right.
As you can see the question really wasn't posted with actual intent.

Here is your reminder that Labour supported it.

Yeah. That all men are trash; avoiding the bad ones just leaves you with fred rogers and probably a second one at some point idk.
No no, you can't walk that back now, Fred Rogers is trash too. You can't even have one.
What gender do you identify as btw? Because from now on I'm going to assume all of that gender is just as garbage as your dumb ass.

Nah, just stop using it. Sueing does nothing, it just benefits lawyers and not any of us.
But it may hurt the creators who
A) Made this abhorrent shit to begin with
B) Didn't secure a goddamn thing and lied to users about the leaked info being deleted
so whether or not I benefit monetarily, I benefit by it being shut down and those responsible being held at least a little accountable for their various misdeeds to both their users and humanity at large. Plus that may serve as a deterrent for the next libel app that thinks they've reinvented facebook 1.0 (which, they might have some advice about this exact scenario, actually.)

I'm pretty certain you would still get the constant emails though. I don't think there's a way to turn those off other than to secure the bucket.
Anyway I still maintain that an AI wouldn't have made this mistake so the fact the mistake was made kind of implies that it wasn't vibe coded.
I don't know, man: AI assistants can put out some really stupid code, and whoever wants shit to "just work" doesn't care how.
If the developers work in a team, those emails may end up going to whomever holds the company credit card who doesn't necessarily understand/know/care.
