BLOOMBERG – Apr 5 – Gay dating app Grindr sent sensitive user data including HIV status, location and email to at least two third-party services. Grindr said the data sharing is "standard" in the industry and pointed out the company considers its app a "public forum." Grindr also suggested that if users didn't want their data being shared with these companies, they shouldn't have volunteered it. "It's important to remember that Grindr is a public forum," CTO Chen said in the statement.
