TeaOnHer, an app launched as a counterpart to the women's safety app Tea, has exposed sensitive user data including 53,000 users' driver's licenses, selfies, names, emails, and locations. The app, which allows men to "review" women, mirrors Tea's features and similarly lacks adequate user data protections, enabling easy access to personal information. This follows a previous incident where the original Tea app leaked 60 GB of personal data, including government IDs. The incidents highlight the risks associated with online digital ID verification and the potential for misuse of personal data. Additionally, the Tea app has been criticized for facilitating acts of image-based abuse, revenge porn, and unauthorized sharing of intimate images, raising concerns about user safety and privacy.
