There’s nothing Apple can really do about backend security of apps.

Conceivably these storage endpoints might’ve never been directly exposed to mobile clients, instead going through other proxies or CDNs.

I think what they meant is that Apple is allowing a legally dubious app to operate.

Not that apple should enforce minimum security, but that the app shouldn't be allowed on the App Store in the first place. For obvious reasons.

Supposedly, if your photo is posted on Tea you can contact Apple. Then Apple will force Tea to take your information down.

But how would you know your photo or any slander is even on there? From what I heard, the app requires a photo and video based verification through a third party service to determine if you’re a woman (which itself seems problematic). Without that access you wouldn’t even know if your information is on there.

		IMO, you don't need individual grievances to shut down that app. A lot of the content has already been leaked - some even by women who don't necessarily agree with the method. And there are a lot of complaints based on them. Many don't even need you to know the background of the men to know that they are toxic and unethical (and probably illegal as well). Cases like 'ghosting after a single date', 'not good in bed', something else equally frivolous or a lot of one-sided narratives. What do all these have to do with 'women's safety', as much as they have to do with men's safety? A lot of men are genuinely weary of dating precisely because of those (I'm talking about men who prefer relationships, not the MGTOW types). This is extremely harmful to the society in general. I believe that these platforms are misusing the 'women's safety' argument to exploit corporate bias in order to circumvent anti-doxxing safeguards and reinforce a very toxic culture.
