…verifies that new users are women by asking them to upload a selfie.
$50 says it’s not trans-inclusive.
Someone talking about it on another thread used the phrase “woman or woman categorized person” and certainly didn’t say they weren’t being transphobic when I asked if they were being transphobic to trans women of supportive of femme enbies. So… Wouldn’t necessarily surprise me at this point.
Wouldn’t you want people you’re meeting on dating apps to know that you’re trans beforehand?
But can it really be a breach if it was never secure in the first place? They put it a bucket with absolutely no security. Anyone, literally anyone could have downloaded all of that data.
Also the app looks like some sort of awful vibe-coded meme garbage. I noticed it on the app store a while back and kind of wondered who would actually use it. I guess we know now that we have all of their driver’s licenses available.
Oh well.
The headline is bad but yeah that’s what it should be viewed as. Better headline would be app that promised women’s safety exposes their PII.
The reaction by skeevy guys to this is literally proving the need for an app that does this (obviously, whisper networks exist for a reason, but they don’t scale to internet dating).
Sadly, the presence of selfies and IDs being stored rather than immediately discarded upon verification, is also why we can’t really ever trust tech companies to make this app.
Someone is defending the leaker saying they didn’t know they shouldn’t have access.
That app sounds horrible
Well, that’s not good.
