I don't disagree with your main point, but I'm not sure it's really even "stealing", as that means to take without permission. In this case, the storage permissions were configured so that the files were publicly available to everyone, so everyone had permission to access them.
Semantics though. It's still unethical to access that data, even if it's not technically stealing.
I'm no lawyer, but this seems like at least grounds for a class action lawsuit, I would think. Like, it seems like privacy and security is implied (however ironic for an app like this) when requiring users to upload their PII.
Also, I assume their privacy policy didn't mention that they were just gonna publish their users' PII.
Thanks! I edited it

Kinda wild that app stores allow something like that. I wonder how long it'll take for someone to build the same up, but with the roles reversed: Men anonymously talking about local women ๐ฌ
Huh. On the surface, they don't sound very neutral on the weapons stuff ๐. TIL. I wonder what their underlying reasoning for this is
I wonder how long this will last. The NSFW industry is insanely huge. If the current payment processors cut it off, that leaves a giant gap in the market just waiting to get filled (๐).
If they hold firm on this, it might just be a rare opportunity for a new (and hopefully better) payment processor to enter the market.
Or maybe just wider crypto adoption, idk.
I meant current times, not in the past. Sorry, I assumed that would be obvious. There are also some things I like about Germany, though they have a pretty terrible past.
This is the first thing I've ever disliked about Switzerland (not that I know a lot about the country).
Congrats! Enjoy your null ๐
I imagine that, when deciding whether calls to violence/murder should be grounds for banning, the reasons to ban likely outweighed the reasons not to by a lot
I had a retriever named Riley (until recently ๐). Best dog ever.
