A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Am I missing something here? The article talks only about how user data was exposed, including the data on men being discussed in private messages. I don't see any mention about any of what's being discussed in these comments.
I get that there's probably some talking behind backs or whatever going on in the app, but both criticism and defense of it seems completely irrelevant to the article in question.
If anything, the article goes to show just how wide of an impact the breach has. It not only is a violation of the users privacy (again), but also of personal information of non-users, including relationship history and sexual preferences of both the women on the app and the men they're discussing.
