Church leader outed via Grindr data

From a tech perspective, I find it highly concerning that Grindr provides enough data to vendors to enable this.

If a small investigative team can track down an individual with the data, I can only imagine what more robust reporting organizations could do with the same data.

"Commercially available app signal data does not identify the names of app users, but instead correlates a unique numerical identifier to each mobile device using particular apps. Signal data, collected by apps after users consent to data collection, is aggregated and sold by data vendors. It can be analyzed to provide timestamped location data and usage information for each numbered device."
