Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoIt isn’t the women who are wrong; it’s the app developer and 4chan. But setting aside the data breach, creating a Yelp for dating is a ticking time bomb. They were going to get sued out the ass, data breach or no data breach. I don’t know how many times this needs to happen, but I guess web developers have the memory of goldfish. There have been several attempts at something similar that got shut down for the obvious reasons. Making a website that rates human beings is always going to be a legal minefield.

Don’t trust dating apps ever. Literally better off dating someone you meet at a park.
Less chance an algorithm set you up to fail.

How is this relevant to anything I said? We aren’t even talking about a dating app here.

I understand what you’re saying but dating apps exist because there are so many people who have no access to third places like that and don’t get to meet anyone.
Partly that’s down to covid killing a bunch of stuff but it was on the decline before then anyway. Businesses were shutting down and becoming online only, town centres are emptying out, full of nothing but shuttered businesses with nothing to replace them. And of course now everyone is working from home.
There was less and less everyday opportunity to meet people. Even if I go outside if other people don’t then I’m just wandering around by myself.

Literally better off hitting on random Lemmy users than using a dating app.
Almost anything is better. Dating apps sre designed to keep you using them.

Good advice actually. Dating apps have been monopolized and enshittified by the same two or three parent companies in recent years.
