If your name or image is posted without your consent, you can absolutely demand removal. Platforms like Tea fall under DMCA, privacy, and even app store policy violations.
I found a simple takedown tool at suetea.com that walks you through it and generates the email — might help someone here.
Based on your submissions you seem to the creator of the tool, which is fine, but you need to disclose it. Also, it's not the done thing here to go through past threads promoting a product/service with a copy+pasted comment.
The Tea App lets anonymous users post names, photos, and stories about men without consent. There’s no vetting, no notice, and no built-in way to get anything removed.
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.
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.
