EFF Urges Grindr to Default to Privacy Over Profits This Pride Month
EFF calls on Grindr to stop sharing user data with advertisers and training AI on private information without opt-in consent. The LGBTQ+ dating app has faced fines and lawsuits for mishandling sensitive data like HIV status and location. EFF demands opt-out behavioral advertising by default and stronger privacy protections.
Meridian48 take
Grindr’s past data-sharing scandals make this a credibility test, but the call for default privacy is a reasonable step that many apps should follow.
