    Cool. Now use the data to get them all blacklisted on dating sites, that should reestablish some semblance of balance.

      According to the article, that so called university is teaching about healthy living, exercise, and how to make and handle money. On a surface level, that sounds pretty alright.

      Up until now when I researched the guy, I had no idea who he was and what ideals he represents. So I could see how unsuspecting people sign up for that stuff without any ill intent.

        Yes, that’s what the ad said, but the actual class was basically teaching how to trick a woman into bed. The movie sucked, by the way, even if the protagonist figures it out and leaves the class (happyish ending, I suppose). The original story is much worse and much more objectifying.

      “Hustler’s University”

      I’m sure the intention is a play on Hustle culture and it’s supposed to teach you that grindset mindset, but it wasn’t too long ago that “Hustler” meant “con artist” and, well, it’s his university

      Surely that’s not what paragon of humanity and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Taint meant when naming it. He’s got the ego, but I’m not sure he’s clever enough to flaunt it

    All this is very intriguing to say the least but I’m not sure I’m following the information correctly- have these users been doxxed or is this just a temporary blow to Tate’s pockets?

      It’s not even a blow to his pocket if monthly pay continues. They modified the chat service, not their payment operations.

      If it’s only email addresses and chat logs I wouldn’t call it doxxing either.

        Then I’m confused - sorry for being this slow- how is this supposed to affect him or his followers?

          It’s bad publicity. A failure to protect their customer data and people may cancel due to it or evade them in the future. It’s also an opportunity to report on or discuss their other criticisms.

          I can’t speak for them; but it still seems like viable and productive activism to me, whether they do direct or indirect [monetary or personal] damage or not.
