    the app is called TEA - it is a gossip vector masquerading as a safety mechanism, and people are making all sorts of claims about innocent people they had a bad date about, including their full name, location, workplace, pictures of their face - and accusing them baselessly in some (or most) instances of violent crimes.

    If you can’t see how not only that wouldnt make women safer, but instead is a black mirror episode - there’s something wrong.

    People against this app aren’t against women’s safety, and they dont necessarily believe our current systems and protection are adequate - but getting lynched by half a city because of a jaded ex is not a solution and is a crime of its own.

    I mean half the posts on similar Facebook groups complain about the men being “narcissists” yeah its a shitty personality trait but thats clearly not a fucking safety issue, its about gossiping and doxxing people.
