My friend came over and told me a story about this crazy date she was on.

    I said it the other day when the UK mandate just went into force and Reddit started having people in the UK required to take pictures of their IDs to get access to NSFW subreddits: if you get people used to having websites demand photos of identity documents, I strongly suspect you are gonna have some serious fraud --- and privacy --- issues down the line when less-than-salubrious websites start getting people to take and hand over identity document photos.

    That is why after the vision of this meme appeared in my head I was forced to banish it from my imagination by making it real in as halfassed fashion as possible.

    Oh absolutely. The NV equivalent is priced at multiple millions of dollars. If you can get it.

    The Tea app is agnostic. While its purpose and main use case was made for the safety of women in the dating scene, it was inevitably used to spread exaggerated or misleading information about otherwise innocent men. Imagine being a privacy-conscious individual, and breaking up with a toxic woman. She could go on to spread lies about you and even upload pictures of you to the reverse image search/ai. So even if you were doing everything right from a privacy standpoint, you’d still end up in someone’s private database, subjected to ai training, shared with the government, or who knows what. While I do see the purpose of apps like these, they can effectively take away someone’s privacy/dignity without them even knowing about it. Now imagine being a 4channer, someone probably even more privacy-conscious than lemmings, and possibly experiencing mental disorders like paranoid schizophrenia or autism; of course they’re drawn to hacking an app that would destroy their privacy. They are not sane individuals, so this event really was inevitable.

    Oh. So, you're saying you don't go to clubs. I thought you might have been saying it's an outdated expression. Alright then, carry on.

    This has nothing to do with the tracking. what is "this"? location sharing apps? if yes, why do you think these are unrelated? You should have the same problem with anyone that has location turned on in their phone. I don't care about a random person having location turned on. why should I? there's plenty of offline uses for that function, I use it regularly. maps, sports tracking, reminders, ... , as we use Google maps to navigate as is. I reject the premise that I'm violating someone else's privacy by doing so. that's ok, when it only affects you. but when you are navigating to a friend's place, with this thinking you are just ignorant about what is actually happening. I'm genuinely sorry to point this out. this is a bit similar to when people refuse the fact that by uploading a picture of someone to facebook they might be violating their privacy. or when people haphazardly allow contacts access to random apps, or to apps like facebook messenger because it asks so nicely, and then disclaim responsibility over where does that contact information go. You certainly wouldn't have the right to ask someone to turn something like that off simply because you don't trust the corporations on the other end, not just the corporations, but the tech hygiene of the average person. I am aware that it sounds bad, and I hate it that it is warranted.
