Comment on Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 1 week agoFrom what I have seen, they initial guys shared a link to the database, not any content. The equivalent of telling people: “Look at this unlocked door I found.” They did not “steal” anything as far as I know.
Also, the analogy doesn’t work either. What if it really was intended to be public? Making a copy is not analogous to stealing something, it’s analogous to taking a picture.

Damn, do you think this link I found that has a ton of women’s drivers licenses is supposed to be public? Better share it to 4chan. They’ll know what to do.

So it’s just about the drivers licenses? We should make a law to ban sharing drivers licenses?
What do you believe should be the law here.

When did this ever become about what laws should be? There already are laws for this. How are you so obtuse? They doxxed thousands of women. I can’t stress that enough. They doxxed thousands of women and you’re defending them.

Not legally, no they didn’t. Tea did. Under current laws, they have no obligation to report this or to not tell other people about it.
