Is that just an assumption or have you read the Ts & Cs?
What good are the terms unless they disclosed they were gonna leave your private information unprotected?
They might have, or have a clause in there for zero liability for similar situations.
I was hoping you had read them, because I'm curious and really don't want to read them.
Edit - I just went and read them.
This covers their butts to some extent:

Terms
lol they're cooked
There will probably be an attempt at a class action lawsuit, but I'm not sure how far it will go.

The app is most likely going to see a severe decline in users because no one's going to trust it. But women are retarded and if it's still around and they see enough buzz about it here in a year or so they'll flock back to it if they think it's the new thing to do.
I'll take the case pro bono. Terms and Conditions aren't blanket immunity.

After rating about 10 sets of users, I've hit a brick wall and don't know how to proceed...
