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.
