I understand the reasoning for the public intent of the app and would generally support it within reason cause society right now amirite… but its not so subtle real world application has now leaked a DB of catty women for whom the majority ALSO show massive red flags. This isn’t a sexist men vs women critique, if there was an app for men to rate women and dox them I’d feel the same way. Love it when shitty people bamboozle themselves.
I mean it’s even in the app name that it’s not about protecting women and keeping them safe, it’s literally about “spilling the tea” aka gossip. It’s pretty gross and can be used for nonconsenual sharing of images and even slander too since there’s no way to know if what someone is writing on there about someone is true or not.
