How is it always 4chan. Is the anime shit posting board really where peak tech literate internet users congregate.
No, it’s one of the few clearnet sites that still allow anonymous posts without email or anything. Just CAPTCHA. Everything is deleted after a while, so moderation is barely necessary. Many search engines don’t even index it. It’s a quick way of reporting something interesting anonymously.
It sucks that personal data is exploited and accessed, but a great thing it was discovered and called out. I wish it was disclosed responsibly though
Tbh, if you use the dox 3000 app, you have to expect them not valuing your privacy.
I don’t like this app. I don’t like the idea of this app. I think the whole thing was misguided.
But let me tell you of a time when I was younger and more festively slutty, I had a few encounters that might have made me a user. Not all men, no, but after the third time a dude threatens to rape you in a park, you start to wonder if you could be doing more to protect yourself.
Remember, ladies, these days you can print your own handguns and make them look like whatever you want.
Slightly different motivations in play. For a start, how can they be femcels if the whole premise of the app is to screen men for the purposes of safe dating? Secondly, screening men so you don’t get abused is not even in the same country, let alone ballpark, as doxxing people on 4chan because you’re an antifeminist incel, an actual incel, who wants to score points with other worthless societal lip crust.
Was it a perfect app and did everyone on it comport themselves impeccably? Of course not, but you’d be an obtuse bad faith dickhead to demand otherwise. It’s just the case that these are the kinds of lengths women have to go to to protect themselves.
And let’s be clear, men do the same shit. Men talk about their bad dates with psycho women and warn each other about them, and they share nudes and other private stuff that the women didn’t intend to be shared amongst the man’s friend group. We don’t need an app with photographic evidence and licence plates and addresses because the abuse men face is usually not being raped or beaten to a pulp. But if you’re a pickup artist or a virulent incel, you’ll probably have a database of women you’ve compiled for reasons other than your own safety. Stop pretending that the stresses of relationships that men and women face are equivalent.
That app is an emergent property of decades of men’s grotesque behaviour. Technology has now put some power into the hands of women so that they can quickly and efficiently share info with each other, and you expect them to wave away that power and just let RNG dictate whether they have a normal date or a survival horror video game.
Fuck 4chan, fuck incels, the end.
I’m gonna make up a bunch of stuff from anecdotes and pre conceived opinions
This is what I think every time I see these stupid posts. Thank you for putting it into words.
people uploading puctures of others without their permission getting mad that their pic was uploaded without their permission.
but like, identification like drivers licenses is too far imo.
Current Status: Finding Out.
IIRC it’s the app they uploaded the pictures to that had them publicly accessible
To each other. For safety. On the premise that not all men are creepy rapey shit heads, most of that is done by just a few predatory assholes, and you can just ignore the bad ones.
Which, lol.
Edit: next time you want a woman to not assume you’re a creep, ask how she’d know. This isn’t the solution id choose, but it was a solution. Ask if you’re really worth rolling a 6 sided dice every time youre alone with a guy, abd on a 2 or a 3 being treated so disgustingly you need a shower, on a 1 being raped or murdered. I’m sorry, but you aren’t worth that.
How else would someone know you are a creep? the only way is to doxx them. Its the only way, there is no other way.
This was all new to me a few moments ago. After some reading, I found an interesting article:
Sorry if it doesn’t quite fit the sub or the meme. I just found it helpful and at least tangentially relevant to a broader understanding of these phenomena.
what happened?
just terrible people being awful to terrible people.
So, the usual?
Honestly, if I stumbled across open/vulnerable data like that I wouldn’t know where else to post that anonymously. 🤷♂️
IMO the thing to do hypothetically is email and CC the news desks of the most legitimate newspapers you can think of with a link to the data.
They will all run the story because if one of them will and the rest dont want to miss the train and they will all reach out to the company asking for comment after they document and verify that the data was publicly available.
This wont do anything. oh no, a news story from some also corrupt org. Oh No! a data breach! can I offer you one month of identity monitoring in this trying time?
Emphasis on anonymously.
4chan wouldnt be it. Maybe breachfourms om the darkweb.
Then you can go on the clear web and pretend to be a random user who happened to see the post and then post that somewhere.
Why? Nothing the user that accessed this did was illegal. Like here’s an open s3 bucket… Can’t prosecute me for that.
yeah but why even give them the chance to try
Security through obscurity has unfortunately been a successful argument in the past.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Swartz for a specific example. While he committed suicide before it was resolved it does show the kind of hammer that can be brought down from accessing public info
This one wasnt about conditions or acys though.
Swartz actually had legal ‘legitimate’ access to that publically funded data.
He was being attacked for exposing the law to the people, they saw it lije like translating the bible out of latin, but even more devastating to power.
I’m just upset that tea users don’t allow men to access their data. I guess you’re out of luck if you’re bi
tea users don’t want men to access their data but tea admins did nothing to stop it
