Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare

  Yeah, the entire point of the app is that you go there and talk about the bad things a person has done.

  That seems pretty hard to identify them without posting their image without their consent and discussing private details of their life so others can identify them. It is creepy as hell, at a minimum.

  Meowmeowbeans social pressure where people will refuse to meet or associate with people who have not been vetted and verified by meowmeowbeans members. So people who want to meet meowmeowbeans users would have to join to get screened otherwise they can get lost.

  Solves the issue of people who never signed up to the social media site having strangers uploading personal photos, videos, names, and stories to a profile page they never consented to. Which is reminiscent of doxing in its current state.

  So meowmeowbeans certification among consenting members would be the better route to go and socially making those not in meowmeowbeans outcasts. At least there is choice now for people to not be part of the community driven database of people.

  off the top of my head, I don’t know. i just feel the concept is intriguing and that the idea is a nice one.

  just the abuse potential is far too high I suppose. but it would be nice to know if someone had stalked someone else, may have spoken or behaved in a violent manner, etc.

  but I suppose at that point you might as well fingerprint and process any potential suitors lol. 😅

  the sentiment is great, however.

    Yeah, it’s one of those things that would be nice if it weren’t for all those pesky malicious parties

    I am going to say with even the downsides I think the idea is worth it.

    My friend sucks to her creeps and maybe she could have saved herself from at least two abused cases.

    Maybe like light system based around how often and how a users submits. This person submits a lot of negative responses red light. This person submits rarely green light?

    The problem is also how much data do we really want to keep? How little can we keep?
