The consequences of one’s actions can only fall on themselves. This is a phrase not many people live by, as they prefer shifting blame onto others rather than owning it. Like when an app created to keep women safe ends up being used to degrade men while exposing all their personal information. The consequence of that? Those same women’s information becomes available to the entire world after a cyberattack. And then, those consequences double down—putting the women in even more danger.
Now, some of you might be asking: what does this have to do with escorting? Well, I’m glad you asked. Bitter, angry clients will always be just that—bitter and angry. They’ll find some way to hurt providers who don’t give them the attention they believe they deserve, or who have an unhealthy dynamic with them in general. Let’s be honest—we’ve all seen it. An app like this is the perfect tool for certain clients to spill restricted information: real names, addresses, and even intimate videos of providers. I wish I could say the last part was an exaggeration, but some men are actually doing this.
Both of these apps are doing far more harm than good, but this “Tea On Her” app is about to do a shitload of damage. It was originally meant to protect women from violent people, but quickly turned into a toxic space where people aired their mess. This other app will be no different—and as a client, I can only see it putting providers in even more danger. I have no idea how it will be regulated or what safeguards they’ll try to implement, but I do know there will be ways around all of it.
Now, sure—it could go the other way. The app could help providers get more bookings. But if the world has taught us anything, it’s that things rarely go according to plan.
My advice? Stay off the app. If the first one got hacked, chances are this one will too. I don’t know if it’s made by the same people, but if it is, it’s a pretty fucking dumb move. As ironic as this whole thing is, no one’s safety should ever be put in danger.
