It markets itself as a safety app. But the reality is closer to an anonymous callout board where anyone can be exposed and labeled without proof. After a recent data breach exposed thousands of verification photos, it’s clear the risks aren’t just theoretical.
I built https://suetea.com as a response. It’s a free tool that helps people generate a legally worded takedown email to both the app’s legal team and Apple. No account required, no data stored, and it takes less than a minute to use.
We also partnered with lawyers who are taking on these cases. If they win, you share in the recovered funds. All you have to do is email them using the info on the site.
If your name or face is on that app, you have options. This tool is one of them.
Would love thoughts or feedback.
If they approved that letter, then you might want to "partner" with some lawyers who actually know what the fuck they're doing.
The app is supposed to help automate the legal request frameworks to assist the victims of libel/slander in removal?
The bucket was available for quite a long time after the news release, so the entire database is likely mirrored in a number of legitimate places for enforcement action, or civil action, and I'm sure also a number of illegitimate places.
What will sending an email to the company do to remove data from the already leaked datasets?
Yes, there are legal words in there, but it just seems like hand waving towards a few _potentially_ applicable laws or class of law. Why would Tea respond to this, let alone take action?
Also, erm, gotouted is an interesting name to use to promote your service that makes claims of libel/slander.
