Comment on Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats

• mang0@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Arguing that tea was for “telling on predatory dudes” is like saying backdooring encryption is to catch people spreading CP.

    That’s what the creator of the site said it was for.

      Would you believe me if I told you some systems are used for other things than what’s intended?

        Sure, if you have evidence. What do you think it was really being used for? And what’s your evidence?

      Yeah, and the US Marshall’s service said Operation Flagship was just a football sweepstakes.

      The Uk said the OSA is to protect children. But people lie.

      And that’s what the people seeking to ban encryption claim it to be for, as well. Doesn’t make it true.

        What is the truth, then?

  This is some Grade-A whataboutism right here.

  Of COURSE the people in that group chat deserve punishment, and probably the same 20 years that French(?) guy got depending on who all did what.

  Just because that happened though doesn’t excuse that this happened. The company did a horrendous thing by holding onto highly sensitive and private data it said it should have deleted, AND the userbase was absolutely vile and abusive towards men.

  All three things need to see justice brought to them, and you should not excuse one just because another happened and wasn’t dealt with properly.
