Users from 4chan claim to have discovered an exposed database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase, belonging to the newly popular women’s dating safety app Tea. Users say they are rifling through peoples’ personal data and selfies uploaded to the app, and then posting that data online, according to screenshots, 4chan posts, and code reviewed by 404 Media.

This is ALSO why no service should ever require or get my driver's license information. Fuck that. Also, yet another Constance to those who can't afford a car or want to improve the environment by living car free.

    My only exception to that are uber drivers. But then again we live in an age where somehow better help has become popular, even though they sell your data.

    I disagree on even that. It should be enough to have some trusted "notary" tick a box that they have verified your driver's license as valid. It should not be stored out sent anywhere at any time. Just showed to a human. Regularly, if needed.

    The only site I ever felt comfortable scanning shit like that into was a site that sold things only to military/medics/fire fighters so I had to upload my medic license and my FF cert.

    Anything beyond that is a no go from me.
