A dating advice app that lets women anonymously review their dates and compare notes has surged in popularity.
Tea Dating Advice app rocketed to the top of Apple’s app store this week. It’s used for women to report issues with men. The point is helping keep women safe — but what about the legal issues around privacy and defamation?
404 Media first reported on the data breach, writing that users from 4chan “claim to have discovered an exposed [Tea] database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase.” The notorious site’s resident trolls bragged that they were parsing personal data and selfies from the app’s internal databases.
