Not sure, but think this may have been the original thread: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/511313558

>DRIVERS LICENSES AND FACE PICS! GET THE FUCK IN HERE BEFORE THEY SHUT IT DOWN!

>Tea App uploads all user verification submissions to this public firebase storage bucket with the prefix "attachments/": [link, now offline]

>Yes, if you sent Tea App your face and drivers license, they doxxed you publicly! No authentication, no nothing. It's a public bucket. I have written a Python script which scrapes the bucket and downloads all the images, page by page, so you can see if you're in it: [pastebin link]

>The censoring in picrel was added by me. The images in the bucket are raw and uncensored. Nice "anonymous" app. This is what happens when you entrust your personal information to a bunch of vibe-coding DEI hires.

Being so careless with people's personal data should be a major crime, tbh. If I manipulated thousands of people to let me scan their passports and various other bits of personal info, then just left the copies around the city for people to find, I'd be prosecuted, and rightfully so.

The irony of a doxxing app being wrecked by the anonymous is too much for me!

[pwdisswordfishz]

This is not irony.

California car dealerships are sometimes visited by the DMV inspector, an actual officer of some kind technically.

If they find any driver license photo copies, even turned over inside an unlocked desk drawer, the fine to a dealership is $10k per occurrence.

Is it weird that internet companies do not have this kind of oversight?

Good analogy. Also, this is the main point of the EU GDPR.

> That app made a lot of basement dwelling chuds furious, to the point that someone was willing to risk prison time for a shot at harming those women.

Although undeniably, the data being mostly women does bring in the chuds so it's not entirely wrong, I think this is a shallow take for a couple of reasons:

1. If any app stored user data this freely, it would be stolen and gloated over on 4chan.

2. This app, which I'm learning about just now, seems deeply problematic. It's a place for people to publically share and shame other people that they don't like. The genders of the people doing this doesn't matter, this is called doxxing and it's not ok, no matter how it gets dressed up (women's safety, children's safety, anti-terrorism, anti-drugs, whatever)

It is, in the EU.

Are you being serious right now? No one forced those people to upload their data to this sketchy site. Everyone with one brain cell would know the repercussions of uploading IDs to a no-name site

[mr_00ff00]

Exactly, this is why if I walk down a street that looks sketchy and I get assaulted/robbed, it’s not a crime and no one can be charged!

Any bad behavior should be legal if the victim should have realized the warning signs.

"No one forced these people to get on that non-airworthy airplane."

People should not have to understand every technical field in order to participate in society. This is what regulatory bodies are for.

Look at what this site does.

You upload other people’s personal information on it to run background checks on them.

So, many of the victims probably haven’t heard of the company.

i think you are assuming a level of computer literacy that doesn't exist in the general population. most people seem to not actually know where data goes when they put it in their phone, how that data is used, or what actually happens on computers in general. They mostly appear as magic to them.

Victim blaming isn't right. Yes, they could have exhibited more caution. No, it's not their fault.
