MASHABLE – Grindr now blocks users from writing "no Zionists" in their bios, showing an error message if they try. But phrases like "no fats," "no Asians," "no Blacks," and "no Jews" are still allowed. This has raised questions about why some language is flagged while other, clearly exclusionary, terms are not. Grindr says it made the change after user complaints and is reviewing its policies. The platform has faced similar criticism before – in 2020, it promised to remove ethnicity filters but left them live for weeks.
