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.

Every website on earth tracks where you are and where you go, lol

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.

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

i don't think weaponizing being gay is a good precedent .-.

Isn't that precisely what these particular legislators are doing though?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

exactly, they're weaponizing it. Grindr would just be outing them.

Well you'll be happy to know that Grind r never followed through

I did not expect that. But I expected not to expect something, so it doesnt count
