Was this app made by misogynists? Did they "accidentally" fuck up on purpose?
No, the direct opposite
Doesn't matter what side you're on, when you're extremist, you're extremist
Yeah, first time is an accident. Second time, though...?
I do try not to attribute to malice anything that can be adequately explained by stupidity. At the end of the day, I don't think it really matters. This level of stupidity is gross negligence, and they need to get sued through the floor.
that’s my theory. how can you be so grossly negligent to expose all your data with no ACLs. especially when collecting personal identification
Gross irresponsibility wouldn't be unheard of for an unscrupulous "tech capitalist" who's better at promoting by overpromising safety & security & rushing out half-baked minimum viable junk instead of properly implementing it.
Still, someone malicious could as easily do the same in an atmosphere of declining tech savvy.
