Honestly it sounds like a developer (or group of developers) through together an app that appeals to creepers and they felt arbitrarily singled out for creating a blatantly creepy app whereas the ones that quietly monetize the same data (via data brokers or something to that effect) get a free pass.

Ordinarily, a developer would bugger off but they (presumably) have alt-right activist leanings and they're trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Check 4chan on any day and there will be "FB/IG creep" threads where users anonymously upload photos of their female Facebook and Instagram friends in skimpy/swimwear clothing.

The hacker known as 4chan strikes again??? I thought they've banned him from Facebook...

What is alt-right? I thought it was people who don't like immigration. Seems to have nothing to do with this.

Edit: Just read up on the term. It's meaningless.

Can we skip this ritualistic pantomime? For the record, the other side of the issue is that the term has serious meaning and that the alt-right likes to undermine any allegations against it (of course), even by arguing that the term itself is meaningless and that they don't even exist; it's all a fantasy. A great way of disrupting any discussion or criticism. You can read the alt-right's position in the parent and other comment. With everything said, let's stop here!

Exactly. Not to start a whole thing, but almost anytime you read alt-right, in context it means “person I don’t like the internet said exists”.
