Lovable is not the same as using your bank account or your health insurance. You create a website and put it on the internet and maybe even host sensitive data and information. This should only be done if you know what you are doing and if that’s not the case and you haven’t read the terms of service it’s mostly your fault that you trust any company on the web especially those coked out VC backed startups.

If there are passports in these dumps, Lovable is obviously being used for sites that _are_ as serious as your bank account or health insurance. That's exactly the problem birdsong's bringing up in this thread.

If it were only used for prototypes and blogs, who cares. But it's being used by _real businesses_ that don't give a shit about security.

I specifically chose banks and health insurances specifically because you can not get around using their websites and online services in your daily life.

For all other services: is it really necessary to give them your passport info on the internet ?
