Since SINTEF is based in Norway, it's certainly possible that my profile picture is somewhere in there, and that really pisses me off. I'm out and have no problem with people knowing that I'm gay, but I shouldn't have to deal with "researchers" pulling this type of crap.
- zeth___ 9y agoAre you happier with teens in Slovakia pulling this type of crap? If it isn't locked down someone has already scraped it and saved it forever. That you don't see most of the data being stored about you means nothing. Just another data-point explaining why in 10 years you got pulled off that Emirates plane in a layover in Dubai and were never seen from again.
- tallanvor 9y agoTo me that's the slippery slope argument. Sure, someone else could have done it already, or could be doing it right now. But SINTEF is supposed to be reputable research organization, and I think it's more than acceptable to expect them to properly handle any data they gather. Grindr faces significant hurdles in improving security and complying with GDPR, and we do need to hold them to account, but that does not absolve SINTEF of their responsibilities either.
