A dating website for Oxford University students has been accused of breaching student and staff privacy after revealing the name of everyone with a university email address.
“OxShag”, set up anonymously by a group of students, promised to help “overworked and undersexed” students find “bookworms with benefits, coursemates keeping it casual, nerds with no strings attached”.
It claimed to be a matchmaking service for Oxford students, but students have said that it breached their privacy by making public the entire university directory.
When it launched yesterday, OxShag’s website featured a list of every person who holds an Oxford University email address, including students, academics, administrators, porters and more.
