While I agree this would be hilarious, and would want them to do it, it scares me that it's possible. That they know who is using it and apparently keep a database of certain users whom they can then blackmail. It's probably just an empty threat though and I'm taking it too seriously.

It shouldn't be up to the good will of the company to protect you. We should have privacy laws.

I mean is there anything more to this threat than a meme?

The Halfway Post is a satirical news site, so no, there is no evidence that Grindr said this or could actually do it. Still, it would be hilarious.
