It's time for you Americans to wake up. You're supporting the wrong things!
National sovereignty is a fundamental principle of international law and cannot be selectively applied according to the interests of global powers. Donald Trump’s threats and aggressive rhetoric toward Venezuela undermine this principle by treating a nation’s self-determination as negotiable. Criticizing this stance does not mean endorsing the Venezuelan government, but acknowledging that sanctions, intimidation, and external pressure rarely affect political elites and instead harm ordinary people, deepening humanitarian crises.
Latin American history reveals a recurring pattern of foreign interference framed as the defense of democracy. From a moral standpoint, collective punishment and imposed solutions are indefensible. If such actions would be unacceptable when directed at the United States, they cannot be justified against Venezuela. A responsible international approach requires multilateral dialogue, international mediation, and genuine respect for the sovereignty of nations.
To speak of Black love is not just to speak of romance. It's to speak of history, of survival, and of everything that has been denied to us throughout time. For Black people, love has never been simple. Amidst silences, symbolic and affective violence, we learn early on to distrust affection, to protect ourselves even before feeling it.
This text is born from this sensitive place. From the recognition that fear doesn't arise from nothing; it is taught, inherited, and reinforced. Fear of surrendering, of being rejected, of not being enough. Fear of loving and, above all, of being loved.
“Who's Afraid of Black Love?” is not an accusation, it's an invitation. An invitation to reflection, to care, and to courage. Courage to face our wounds, to question imposed narratives, and to claim the right to live more just, light, and whole relationships.
Because Black love exists. It resists, heals, and flourishes. And perhaps the greatest revolutionary act is precisely this: allowing oneself to love without apologizing for who one is.
I really think you didn't do anything interesting in this post. This is because you need to authenticate to log in via OTP, and from that point on (with your IP and everything else) the system knows that it released this data specifically for you.
Even if you had managed to log in without authenticating, all users know that by uploading images there, they become public. It's worth noting that the coordinates of each user were not sent to you in the response, only those of users who are relatively close.
In short... using a dating app means knowing that you are in a public environment, just like going to a shopping mall, party, park...
I get what you’re saying, but I think you’re missing the point. Yes, the app needs OTP to log in, and yes, uploaded images are technically public—but what I was showing is different: once you’re authenticated, there’s basically no access control on user images. That’s not about OTP or being in a “public environment”; it’s a backend flaw. Anyone with minimal scripting can access all user photos without any extra checks.
Also, even if the API only gives “distance,” you can still roughly triangulate someone’s location within 200 meters, which I demonstrated. The post isn’t about blaming users—it’s about showing how sensitive data is exposed by design, which is a real privacy risk.
If so, I found it very laborious. But I understand those who complain; the colors really have a LOT of room for improvement.
