Tea App Megathread

Bullfrog3303 · 2025-07-25T03:07:51+00:00

I’ve analyzed the Tea app’s APK and identified its third-party vendors, including services like RevenueCat, Amplitude, AppsFlyer, Mapbox, Unity, Sentry, Segment, Google Firebase, etc. My review of these companies' Terms of Service (ToS), Acceptable Use Policies (AUP), and Privacy Policies shows that Tea’s non-consensual sharing of personal information likely violates these agreements and exposes vendors to legal risks under laws like the CCPA. I’ve reported these violations to the vendors, providing evidence of how Tea’s practices breach their policies. I urge those with technical or legal expertise to do the same, but only if you can clearly articulate the violations.

Uninformed or emotional complaints will weaken our efforts, so please act thoughtfully. Let’s stay professional and focused to maximize impact.

This app is 100% illegal in the European Union by the way according to GDPR

Someone just needs to file a claim in the EU and the app is getting taken down lol

The Tea App has enabled dangerous and illegal defamation of the innocent and privacy violations. Here’s info on how to raise concerns with the authorities from sciencehoe70-1:

🚨🚨 To Everyone Affected by AWDTSG or Safe Tea: Here’s How to Fight Back 🚨🚨 If you've already sent an email—send it again. If you haven’t, now is the time

We’re done playing this insane game. These apps are doing real harm. The fastest way to shut them down is cutting off their payment processors.

🧨 The Harm These Apps Cause:

Defamation & Harassment: AWDTSG (6M users) and Safe Tea (\$1.6M ARR) allow people to post anonymous, unverified information that ruins lives—careers shattered, mental health devastated, stalkers enabled.
Privacy Violations: These apps track sensitive user data without proper consent—violating Apple’s Guideline 5.1 and Google’s privacy terms.
Mental Health Crises: Victims face public shaming, job loss, stalking, and anxiety. These platforms profit while real people suffer.

💥 Why Target Payment Processors?

Without access to Stripe, PayPal, and other payment services, these apps can’t function. Once payments are blocked, app stores are more likely to delist them entirely—cutting off future users and revenue.

🎯 Who to Email:

You don’t need to write a long essay. Just clearly explain how the apps are enabling harassment and defamation, violating privacy, and causing mental distress. Demand action.

Here's link to report it in Google Play(app ID is com.tea.tea): https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/contact/policy_violation_report

Red-Pilled-Aussie · 2025-07-26T01:55:25+00:00

Feminists over at TwoX are having a meltdown because someone hacked the database and revealed all the photo verification and driver license IDs of the women using the app. They are upset because it is an invasion of privacy and now anyone can see their details online. Talk about poetic justice.

_WutzInAName_ · 2025-07-25T06:05:26+00:00

Good article from Poppy Sowerby at The Times exposing the horrible things the Tea App enables.

https://www.thetimes.com/us/news-today/article/tea-app-dating-men-women-hsdwms7f9

“One man laments that it’s “a place where hurt women can … tell a one-sided story about men and damage their name without any context or proof”; another worries about a future destroyed by “surveillance by our peers”.

women post pictures of their partners while they are sleeping to find out if other women recognise him.

this is simply vigilante justice, entirely reliant on the scruples of anonymous women. With Tea on the scene, what man would ever dare date a woman again?”

sciencehoe70-1 · 2025-07-25T09:07:45+00:00

You ppl seem to be forgetting that there is another app apart from the TEA app - are we dating the same guy ? By spillthetea inc

It is by the original creator of the fb groups - POALA.

It has a lot of downloads as well. Serves the exact same purpose just being monetized by a different person

Keyboard-King · 2025-07-25T09:41:16+00:00

Tea will be a revenge and doxxing app.

Red-Pilled-Aussie · 2025-07-26T01:52:24+00:00

Ever wondered why this app and the “are we dating the same guy” groups become so popular? Because women are all choosing to date the top 5% of men. So naturally many of them will be sharing a chad with other women. It’s women’s hypergamy that even allows this app to exist.

_WutzInAName_ · 2025-07-25T05:10:21+00:00

Here are Medium articles describing the specific legal violations going on under the Tea App and AWDTSG, with screenshots of comments.

Looks like 59.3 GB of verification pictures of the Driver Licenses of the women involved has been leaked as well in the hack.

DamagePossible4946 · 2025-07-25T19:06:37+00:00

My name has been smeared across several platforms because of this app with lies and photos.. I can't understand how this is allowed.. or how this is even legal

NoSand4979 · 2025-07-28T11:07:55+00:00

Hello everyone,

Per my research, this apps operations and its users are in direct violation of at least 8 California state laws and 2 federal stalking statutes.

I am working to organize a class action lawsuit against Tea Dating Advice, Inc. There are a couple of legal organizations that could represent us if enough evidence is presented.

If you have been affected, or know someone who was negatively impacted in any way by the Tea app, please send me a private DM ASAP.

I am currently working on gathering donations for legal counsel so we can get justice for those affected and stop the company from further harm.

Again please send a private DM if you are interested in organizing a class action suit or have been affected by this app!

Winter-Gur-9762 · 2025-07-27T20:40:49+00:00

The fact that there’s not a single man on the app who doesn’t have at least one red flag shows misandry is 100% a prevalent thing and problem in society. There shouldn’t even be a such thing as being labeled an incel anymore.

It could be a stretch, but if all one requires to be "vetted" through the app is a single selfie, then using a photo from This Person Does Not Exist could work to gain entry.

Info about a class action lawsuit against Tea below, from ZealousidealLet234:

Yes—a man can bring a lawsuit even if he doesn’t yet know whether he’s been posted, and in fact, the very fact that men are categorically excluded from access is itself a legally actionable harm.

Here’s why.

⸻

⁠Exclusion Alone Creates Standing

Even if a man hasn’t confirmed whether he was “doxxed,” the denial of access based on sex—while allowing women to use the app freely—is itself: • Gender discrimination under state civil rights laws (like California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, which applies to all businesses, including apps). • A deprivation of equal access to a commercial service, which courts increasingly recognize as a harm in itself (especially when paired with reputational risk).

That means any man could sue on the grounds that he is denied the ability to monitor, defend, or correct information posted about him.

⸻

The Catch-22 Actually Strengthens the Case

The app’s design—allowing women to post names, photos, and accusations while denying men the ability to know, verify, or respond—could be argued as: • A due process and fairness violation (in civil contexts, not constitutional, but as a principle in consumer protection claims). • An inherently discriminatory business practice because it creates a closed ecosystem where only one gender can participate, while the other is targeted.

This also bolsters arguments for injunctive relief (a court order to shut down or modify the app) even before damages are proven.

⸻

How a Plaintiff Could Proceed

There are two main routes:

A. Individual Lawsuit (Civil Rights/Consumer Protection)

A single man (even one who doesn’t know if he’s posted) could sue on the basis of: 1. Being categorically denied access due to gender. 2. The foreseeable risk of reputational harm because he cannot monitor or defend himself. 3. Apple’s participation (hosting and profiting despite the discrimination).

B. Class Action

Because every man is excluded by design, attorneys could file a class action on behalf of all men denied access, seeking: • Statutory damages (many civil rights statutes provide automatic damages per violation), • An injunction forcing Apple to remove or alter the app, • Potential punitive damages if the conduct is deemed reckless or exploitative.

⸻

How Apple Becomes Liable

Normally, Apple could hide behind Section 230. But: • Section 230 does not cover civil rights claims, unfair business practices, or Apple’s own decision to distribute a discriminatory app. • Apple profits directly (via App Store fees) and has developer policies explicitly banning apps that promote harassment or discrimination, so knowingly hosting this app could be framed as negligence or willful misconduct.

⸻

So, Can “Any Man” Sue?

Yes. Even without proof that he’s posted: • The denial of equal access is enough to establish standing. • The risk of reputational harm (since he cannot even check or appeal posts about him) strengthens the case for injunctive relief. • If discovery later reveals specific doxxing or defamation, that can add damages claims.

Medium-Ad-2636 · 2025-07-25T11:36:26+00:00

It's a civil defamation and libel lawsuit waiting for the company and its "anonymous" users. They're setting themselves up for legal recourse. I'd be surprised if there aren't active litigation cases already.

byteoflogic1 · 2025-07-26T02:10:55+00:00

Everyone needs to mass report this app!

Sc0pey · 2025-07-25T19:51:46+00:00

be prepared for judges to dismiss soooo many lawsuits just because they don’t want to deal with it. And the media will run with “look these lawsuits were dismissed that means they’re worthless”

Autigtron · 2025-07-25T21:06:18+00:00

HR departments now using this as well for candidates.

HelicopterKey3670 · 2025-07-26T23:39:35+00:00

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about the legal system behind apps and social network platforms in the United States, I can't directly affect anything here. I will say, as a man who has been lied about by psychotic women in the past, I am happy to pour hundreds, if not thousands into any efforts that can get this app banned and set a precedent that apps of this nature will not be tolerated in the future. Are there any class action suits developing in the United States? Can "All men in the United States" be a "class" in a class action lawsuit?

So glad I got out of the dating pool years ago and I am getting married soon.

This isn't specifically addressing the TEA app, but any online presence. I recently had a young woman get upset with me because I wanted to end our, um, tryst. I'm not into social media. I don't contribute much to it... like several comments here or there on a couple of platforms. However, she's on Snapchat, X, Instagram, FB ... all of that crap.

I am seriously concerned that she's probably shit talking me everywhere that she can. I don't want to have to make accounts to check everything because I'm not THAT curious. Does anyone know of some online "checker" that I can access? Thank you very much for your time.

I don't even think I'm on that app, but just used GPT and quickly proof-read it with a good lawyer friend of mine, for a court submission.
In my case if I find my profile there it would be legal to notify the app to take it down, or file the court order if they don't do it on a 15 day span, he said is very easy to earn a few bucks with that kind of shit, everyone who's worried should consider, probably I'll ask a girl friend that doesn't agree with that shit to search my pictures for me if I can't find a ''alternative'' version of the app soon enough.

Red-Pilled-Aussie · 2025-07-26T13:17:22+00:00

Many of you are upset over the Tea App and rightly so. But what if there is a silver lining? Hear me out…

The vast majority of men on the Tea App are chads in the top 5% of men. So women are telling other women not to date these chads. The irony is they are actually making the pool of chads even smaller as a result. This will make dating even more difficult for them.

Seems women’s hypergamy has become so extreme that it is about to implode on itself. Could this be natures way of correcting itself? The level of hypergamy today simply isn’t sustainable and something has to give.

The entire Tea App Leak is a very obvious hoax. They are just trying to quash outrage from the male loneliness epidemic.

There are no links and there is no leaked data. The media is simply parroting an agenda to make the men happy
