The issues with adtech are real, unfortunately the WSJ is using scare tactics in a ploy for clicks.” “The Wall Street Journal has run a sensationalized story about the historical vulnerabilities in the adtech ecosystem that were improperly exploited to allegedly obtain data from some of Grindr’s former ad partners. “Victimizing LGBTQ+ people is despicable, sadly it still happens all the time,” Grindr VP of Communications Patrick Lenihan wrote in a blog post concerning the article. Grindr, which says it has millions of gay, bi, trans and queer users across the world, has hit back against the WSJ’s story, dubbing it “old news” and noting that it appears to be targeting the app’s userbase. Homosexuality also remains illegal in several countries, potentially putting user’s personal safety at risk if identifiedīoth the WSJ and Grindr note that personal information such as names, phone numbers or passwords were not available at any point, however details such as a user’s home or work address could theoretically be determined by analyzing the location data. Such practices could have major knock-on effects for users, with the WSJ noting that a US Catholic official was “outed” as a Grindr user last year following analysis of similar data.
