Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan

Maybe I’m just getting old, but the idea of “verifying” my real identity to a faceless website or mobile app is abhorrent.

I guess it doesn’t help that governments in some countries (UK, Australia that I know of) are encouraging this bullshit with Trojan horse laws claiming to protect children from adult websites / social media.

Can’t help but think there is also an element of pot meet kettle here, when users of an app designed to dox and slander people without their knowledge are now the ones getting doxxed themselves.

California, Utah, Texas all have laws now requiring age verification to use an app store

  I’d be interested to know how that works with F-Droid or Aurora.

  If you think that’s the same thing, you don’t understand at least on of those things, but safe money is both…

  What if they fucked right off and left parenting what kids do on their devices to their parents?

  How does having my fingerprint prove my age.
  
  The issue is, at some point, they have to connect your “digital you” to your self as a real person, after that they can track you, keep tabs on you. If that data was ever stolen, or a corrupt government rose to power, you’re really screwed.
