EFF Urges Grindr to Default to Privacy Over Profits This Pride Month

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from EFF ·

EFF calls on Grindr to stop sharing user data with advertisers and training AI on private information without opt-in consent.

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.
