The embattled Tea app is back.
(Tea remains unavailable in the Apple App Store.)
It also led to the creation of TeaOnHer, a rival male version of the Tea app that lets men post anonymously about women.
Both apps were removed from the App Store following complaints about policy violations, privacy concerns, and content moderation issues.
In one of the lawsuits, a woman alleged that Tea failed “to properly secure and safeguard … personally identifiable information.”
