In a world where you can share your location with strangers like it’s just another Tuesday, it’s hardly surprising to hear about yet another app dropping the ball on user privacy. This time, we’ve got TeaOnHer (trust me, that’s what it’s called), an app designed to help women exchange dating info for safety. Apparently, safety isn’t really their strong suit, since reports suggest a hefty breach of personal data has occurred.
But wait, there’s more! A male-targeted rival app is also in the hot seat—because why just leak personal info for one gender when you can do it for both? So, while these apps promise a safe dating experience, the irony is as thick as a soap opera plot twist. With around 53,000 users who might have shared sensitive info like government IDs, it seems these folks are caught in a real-life episode of “The Office”—you know, where nobody listens to security protocols.
In today’s digital love jungle, where swiping left or right might come with a side of identity theft, it begs the question: when will we learn that sharing personal information with an app might just be the digital equivalent of a blind date gone horribly wrong?
Next time you run to download the hottest new app, remember—it might just be leaking more than your latest crush’s gym selfies.
