Users from 4chan claim to have discovered an exposed database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase, belonging to the newly popular women’s dating safety app Tea. Users say they are rifling through peoples’ personal data and selfies uploaded to the app, and then posting that data online, according to screenshots, 4chan posts, and code reviewed by 404 Media.

Well lets be honest if someone made a gender inverse version ofctea many people would b concerned about what is being shared on the app. Honestly i find tesla disturbing and the 4 chan doxing dangerous. Both sides can be bad.

sorry, are men concerned for their safety dating women such that a gender inverted version of this app makes sense? Your ignorance is what I'm talking about here ...

The need for it was not part of my point. The point was a gender flipped app would of course cause some outrage. Immediately there would be people cry "it's just for doxxing, stalking and revenge porn".

But to engage in some good Faith dialoige. Are some men concerned for their safety, yes.

Those already exist. 4chan (yes, they even kind of invented cancel culture with going after "whores" in the late 2000's), kiwifarms, various manosphere forums, Andrew Tate's Discord server, etc.
