I hope nobody will trust them with their data after this. Just leaving their databases open to the public is horrendous. Though I fully expect this kind of stuff to happen way more often over the next few years, with the rise of "vibe coding".

    I feel like this would be unconscionable if it was only employees with access to everything unencrypted. To just leave all this stuff open to the world is beyond the pale.

    Mister president, a second data breach has hit the shit-talking app

    I feel like we just straight up cannot trust corporate apps with our data. Time to go back to signal groups like the rest of us, ig.

    For all the spilling they're doing, this is some of the most spot-on branding I've seen.

    Am I missing something here? The article talks only about how user data was exposed, including the data on men being discussed in private messages. I don't see any mention about any of what's being discussed in these comments.

    I get that there's probably some talking behind backs or whatever going on in the app, but both criticism and defense of it seems completely irrelevant to the article in question.

    If anything, the article goes to show just how wide of an impact the breach has. It not only is a violation of the users privacy (again), but also of personal information of non-users, including relationship history and sexual preferences of both the women on the app and the men they're discussing.

    Imagine if men made an app like this

    Go on?

    It would be a combination of InternetToughGuy, ThatHappened, and a bathroom stall?

    It would be used for "no homo" meetups?

    It would herald an era of men sharing their feelings?

    It would be covered with porn and axel grease and sound like a Harley with a rough idle?

    I have no idea where you are going with this.

    Men mad that the app exists are part of the problem.

    Non-men are still gonna talk shit and warn about ya, so die mad about it I guess.

    You can tell a lot about a person by whether they think the word "feminist" is a negative or a positive

    And so you decided to leave a comment which made your views on the movement as a whole very clear, enforcing the assumption I made

    Thanks!
