I couldn’t agree more. Just to add to the list anyone can create an account with an invalid email address. Just enter any gibberish in the email field you can still register. You don’t even need a throwaway email address. And the spam and phishing accounts have become rampant. Their APIs are still open for anyone to access and get location information of all the Grindr users and spam them. There is nothing stopping anyone. Which is the reason for rise in spam.

Yeah using some code I found on github I was able to triangulate anyone’s location. Ended up using it to help confirm the identity of someone stalking a friend of mine (we were pretty sure we knew who it was and pinpointing them to the same location we knew he lived confirmed it). That was cool to play with but freaky to see “the grid” on a map laid out bare.
