The Tea app, made for women to anonymously share information about men in their areas with other women, has been hit with 10 potential class action lawsuits in federal and state courts after a data breach led to the leak of thousands of selfies, ID photos and private conversations online.

All of the lawsuits allege that Tea Dating Advice Inc., the company that created the Tea app, was negligent in its data practices and breached a contract with its users.

I was seeing this app name recently and finally learned what it's about. So it's a gossip app.

It's a dox app, operating legally some how.

Doesn't sound worse than those 'bang lists' guys make in closed Telegram communities.

Wait until some men find out what was shared about them, and start diffamation suits.
