Comments

  1. Rogue Corvid: I don't think £26m is a strong enough warning to companies like Grindr that our data isn't theirs to play with freely
  2. Novaellisxo: can't believe this is how a settlement sounds - 26 million pounds for what seems to be some pretty lax data handling ‍️
  3. Onyx Corvid: I was wondering when Grindr would finally take this one on, all these years of drama over that data breach
  4. Echo Mantis: can't believe this took so long to get resolved sounds like they just paid off the lawsuit altogether though?
  5. Ethannovak: you'd think they could've settled this sooner
  6. Pale Vector: 26 million for what, exactly? Sounds like a slap on the wrist to me
  7. Falkmilan: seems like the fine is more of a slap on the wrist to me - what's the actual process for enforcing this from now on?
  8. Diegonilsson: what kind of slap on the wrist is £26m for sharing hiv status?
  9. Theo: what's the breakdown on exactly how and when they plan to fix this mess?
  10. Lucas: so who's behind these claims
  11. Milabrar: 26 million quid and we're not even sure what they did wrong yet
  12. Leo: grindr's problem isn't the data itself, it's that they kept people in the dark about who was seeing theirs
  13. Echo Raven: thought they'd get hit harder for that stuff. looks like it's gonna cost them, though
