For what it is worth. I am a woman and I still think this app is wrong.
Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare
CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoIt was potentially defamation when it was just women…talking to one another, too. This seems like a pretty solid case of men looking at something women do to protect each other, and saying “…but what about the men who could be negatively affected in some cases?” I also think the tone in which this is being discussed is pretty revealing about Lemmy’s demographics.

the app is called TEA - it is a gossip vector masquerading as a safety mechanism, and people are making all sorts of claims about innocent people they had a bad date about, including their full name, location, workplace, pictures of their face - and accusing them baselessly in some (or most) instances of violent crimes.
If you can’t see how not only that wouldnt make women safer, but instead is a black mirror episode - there’s something wrong.
People against this app aren’t against women’s safety, and they dont necessarily believe our current systems and protection are adequate - but getting lynched by half a city because of a jaded ex is not a solution and is a crime of its own.
I mean half the posts on similar Facebook groups complain about the men being “narcissists” yeah its a shitty personality trait but thats clearly not a fucking safety issue, its about gossiping and doxxing people.

Yeah, because only men are talking about this.
