Huge security risk #1

At the very least, the ability to tag individual user profiles should be removed, as this places the affected users in danger of harassment or worse. |
@mxsparks i think that's pretty impossible, it would be very hard to distinguish between what is and isn't a user profile. better to just kill the whole thing and avoid any harm. |
We don't know who is behind this project, maybe a hate-group. Even if not, the data has to be hosted somewhere. Someone at that place could dump the database and put it online. This repo should should be taken down. THINK ABOUT THE ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF YOUR CODE BEFORE RELEASING IT! |
The guidelines clearly state that being trans is not enough to be marked as friendly, nor is it required. Many cisgender groups and individuals are marked green as well. New submissions are periodically synced offline and then removed from the server. |
People will mark things as trans friendly regardless of whether or not it follows the guidelines. Your code is being used to mark and track trans people. Lots of people are questioning your motives, and I think this confirms it. You are acting and bad faith and collecting data on trans people. |
There are mechanisms in place to ignore bad quality submissions. |
Such as?
That proves nothing other than the fact that you've given money to a trans rights org. It tells us nothing of how you will handle the data gathered - which is the thing we're most concerned about. You're being very quiet about what happens behind the scenes and that is quite concerning - you out right refused to explain anything in #2 for example. |
We have no way of knowing because we don't know what your server code is and you refuse to release it.
This proves nothing, as many trans people are in cahoots with TERFs. But let's say you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart and truly mean well. You have lots of other trans people telling you that this is a bad thing. This is collecting sensitive information, this could get people killed. Please just listen to us |
This extension is being used to out trans people, and is a huge security risk. As it currently stands, this is doing far more harm than any good it could possibly do. Please take it down.
