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