I don't care about the company and I'm not defending it. I don't have sympathy for the bad faith gossipers getting doxxed. But there are going to be legitimate users who gravitated towards the app for the real safety need. Doxxing this kind of user base means real women are going to get killed by their obsessive stalkers.

It was a choice to exfiltrate this data and distribute it on 4chan.

yeah we can blame the 4chan user and his fans all you want but boy what a blunder, did the company just think "security by obscurity" or something? its just like the march of bad software and practices out there
