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.

Another example of why people shouldn't be uploading/sharing nudes on any platform when the pretense is that it will only be between 2 people. That just isn't realistic anymore. Never was, really. I still don't get how people can hear and know about all the hacks happening now but they can't see that sending nudes is somehow unsafe? Why does society work this way?

One would have hoped the lesson here would be about the dangers of commoditfiying everything as a fucking "app", but no, it looks like its not the increadably irresponsible company at fault (as is tradition).
