just terrible people being awful to terrible people.

Slightly different motivations in play. For a start, how can they be femcels if the whole premise of the app is to screen men for the purposes of safe dating? Secondly, screening men so you don't get abused is not even in the same country, let alone ballpark, as doxxing people on 4chan because you're an antifeminist incel, an actual incel, who wants to score points with other worthless societal lip crust.

Was it a perfect app and did everyone on it comport themselves impeccably? Of course not, but you'd be an obtuse bad faith dickhead to demand otherwise. It's just the case that these are the kinds of lengths women have to go to to protect themselves.

And let's be clear, men do the same shit. Men talk about their bad dates with psycho women and warn each other about them, and they share nudes and other private stuff that the women didn't intend to be shared amongst the man's friend group. We don't need an app with photographic evidence and licence plates and addresses because the abuse men face is usually not being raped or beaten to a pulp. But if you're a pickup artist or a virulent incel, you'll probably have a database of women you've compiled for reasons other than your own safety. Stop pretending that the stresses of relationships that men and women face are equivalent.

That app is an emergent property of decades of men's grotesque behaviour. Technology has now put some power into the hands of women so that they can quickly and efficiently share info with each other, and you expect them to wave away that power and just let RNG dictate whether they have a normal date or a survival horror video game.

Fuck 4chan, fuck incels, the end.

people uploading puctures of others without their permission getting mad that their pic was uploaded without their permission.

but like, identification like drivers licenses is too far imo.

To each other. For safety. On the premise that not all men are creepy rapey shit heads, most of that is done by just a few predatory assholes, and you can just cut out the bad ones.

Which, lol.

Edit: next time you want a woman to not assume you're a creep, ask how she'd know. This isn't the solution id choose, but it was a solution. Ask if you're really worth rolling a 6 sided dice every time youre alone with a guy, abd on a 2 or a 3 being treated so disgustingly you need a shower, on a 1 being raped or murdered. I'm sorry, but you aren't worth that.

IMO the thing to do hypothetically is email and CC the news desks of the most legitimate newspapers you can think of with a link to the data.

They will all run the story because if one of them will and the rest dont want to miss the train and they will all reach out to the company asking for comment after they document and verify that the data was publicly available.

It sucks that personal data is exploited and accessed, but a great thing it was discovered and called out. I wish it was disclosed responsibly though

No, it's one of the few clearnet sites that still allow anonymous posts without email or anything. Just CAPTCHA. Everything is deleted after a while, so moderation is barely necessary. Many search engines don't even index it. It's a quick way of reporting something interesting anonymously.

I don't like this app. I don't like the idea of this app. I think the whole thing was misguided.

But let me tell you of a time when I was younger and more festively slutty, I had a few encounters that might have made me a user. Not all men, no, but after the third time a dude threatens to rape you in a park, you start to wonder if you could be doing more to protect yourself.

Remember, ladies, these days you can print your own handguns and make them look like whatever you want.

How else would someone know you are a creep? the only way is to doxx them. Its the only way, there is no other way.

Emphasis on anonymously.

How is it always 4chan. Is the anime shit posting board really where peak tech literate internet users congregate.

I'd suggest just buying a small frame pistol. Printing your own and making it work reliably takes a level of know-how and effort.

You don't need to be a peak tech literate person to have been able to accomplish this.

The level of neglect of security that was involved when creating that app should really be criminal. Door was left wide open for anyone to walk in a take a peek

You'd have to be in the top percentile. There's definitely less than 1% of the population scouring open cloud dumps for cool little treasures. I'm pretty sure less than 1% of people would even know where to begin doing something like that. Part of the issue of Lemmy is that I think people frequently grossly overestimate the tech literacy of the average person.

Sex offender registry.

Surveillance by default never acceptable, not for "protection" of children, not for "protection" of women.
