I’d be curious to see how secure Grindr’s servers actually are, because if someone really enterprising could combine this location hunting and get access to someone’s message history…hoo boy.
Not solely for the purposes of out-ing people. Grindr messages are, well, I’ve seen things, man. It’s one thing to get outed—it’s another to get your scandalous message history splashed across the internet as well. The blackmail potential is huge.

You're litterally telling someone to don't be a certain sexual orientation just because the current segment of socialtal beliefs doesn't like it. It doesn't work that way.

- ulfw 5y agoAnd in the meantime... maybe don't post really not well thought out comments on Hackernews. This is shockingly naive and ignorant. There's 1000s of things people could potentially get blackmailed for by bad actors. Not just sexual behavior. Brushing that aside like it's a non-issue show lack of maturity.
