“DRIVERS LICENSES AND FACE PICS! GET THE FUCK IN HERE BEFORE THEY SHUT IT DOWN!” the thread read before being deleted.

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.

    You can be child-free and still be married. Anyway.

    A wise thing to do is for men to have their own “Tea” type of app to balance things out. I see no reason not to.

    This would probably be an equal breach of privacy for less gain.

    Female Tea (if used properly) is about protecting women from being abused.

    Male Tea would probably be more about flagging girls that want expensive dates and don’t put out.

    Like, sure, go ahead. Have a male Tea app. But the stakes are not the same.
