Do I even wanna know what the Tea App is?

I assume it comes from "spilling the tea", so I guess it's basically a drama/gossip collection.

Like the other comment said.

This is a meme because they just got Hacked

The usual corpo fuckery, including

Some included images of women holding photo identification for verification purposes, which Tea's own privacy policy promises are "deleted immediately" after authentication.

I'm sure they'll be held fully accountable and all those photos will be deleted from the internet...

Tea is marketed as a “dating safety tool” for women, and it pledges to donate ten percent of its revenue to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. ...

...

The app enables the photos to be run through a reverse image search, enabling them to run a basic background check, check against public sex offender databases, and check for photos that might get flagged as being used in “catfishing” — misrepresenting one’s identity online.

The app also features a “Tea Party Group Chat,” which allows users to directly share information about men, and has a rating function, which allows users to share their experiences with Yelp-style reviews, awarding men a “green flag” or a “red flag.”

I wonder what would society think about app for men where we share pics and rate/review unsuspecting women?
