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.

Ok fine. Dark Voice "Sacrifice the men! It's for the greater good!"

Though I am unironically anti-natalist, and misanthropic, so everyone being single (or well, gay/lesbian) is fine with me personally.

Do you really think that's the alternative here?

I can't tell if you're putting on a bit based on your username or something...

I'm also Misanthropic and so done with society. I don't have the same stakes in it as everyone else.

I understand why women have to do what they have to, and someone must lose here. To prevent horrible cases of rape and abuse, some innocent men will have to be rendered undatable.

On top of that, dating will become a lot like how job searches are nowadays. Have a gap in your err...dating resume? Something is wrong with you, no date.

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.

The best advice of course, is to just not date. Whether we like it or not, there are too many people, and they have been irrevocably damaged by pollution, trauma, and poor education practices.

Few of us are wanted in this world (and I don't just mean romantically, and I don't just mean men). When there is too many of us, we behave like locusts, devouring everything. The solution is stop pumping out babies, consuming useless products, or feeling enitled to other's things. This world does not want you, and you should not want it either

I have meet so so so many broken people who have to suffer through no fault of their own, and I had to play the part of support to them. Because really, no one else gave a damn.

You are a truly disgusting species. If there was something to define evil by, it would be the opposite of good. There are many types of good, and humans somehow manage to run counter to it. But the worst thing they do, is betray and cannibalize their own kind.

If you don't want to be kind, don't want to pay taxes, don't want to include others, then you don't fucking deserve it either. It is a choice that can be made at any time, yet so many refuse, can't even wrap their heads around it.

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.
