Apparently, the red flags also include "has ghosted me" and "is married." Now, those are valid reasons to not date someone, but it's not safety. Safety is just the excuse, just like it is in so many other cases.

It's fucked up that you can't have an honest app to keep people safe, but the makers could have known the problems in advance, and probably did.

> One user’s story stands out

In which precisely nothing happened. We don't even know the nature of the alleged violence.

> It's expected that anon is misogynist

Did you just give a negative impression of someone you don't know?

If guy keeps ghosting a lot of women, women will see him as more attractive due to massive abundance.

		You are getting down-voted, but "playing hard to get" has truths in it. The women I rejected keep coming around all the time, whether it is month later, or a year later. That said, I was not intentionally playing "hard to get", it was a genuine rejection. It probably hurts their pride though, especially if they are not used to being rejected.

Why are you defending blatant and exceptional incompetence?

Also I don’t think there was much actual “hacking” involved?

Regardless if you throw out a box full of other people’s passports/driver licenses/etc. out your window you can’t really blame the people who picked them up for not bringing them back to you.

I don't care about the company and I'm not defending it. I don't have sympathy for the bad faith gossipers getting doxxed. But there are going to be legitimate users who gravitated towards the app for the real safety need. Doxxing this kind of user base means real women are going to get killed by their obsessive stalkers.

It was a choice to exfiltrate this data and distribute it on 4chan.

		yeah we can blame the 4chan user and his fans all you want but boy what a blunder, did the company just think "security by obscurity" or something? its just like the march of bad software and practices out there

Walking through an open door is not hacking.

Curious, have you tried entering people houses when the door is open?

		That’s not a great analogy but it is one that courts have been using until recently when they admitted that it wasn’t a great analogy. A better analogy would be using a box in a bush in a public park to store your customers information.
