I mean is there anything more to this threat than a meme?
That makes sense; thanks for your info!
We do have privacy laws today (USA user), but they are so weak that near my office I regularly see ads advising businesses to treat it as a liability problem and instead buy insurance as a faster and cheaper alternative to good practices.
And it works! This approach should not be feasible to address the costs of violating user privacy. It reiterates to me that we are far too lax.
they are literally given the data and they have to store it for the app to be functional. it should be common sense that this is possible.
its also public data unless they leak things that the app users couldn't see.
Well, the (satirical) post is saying they will "reveal" those who "secretly" use it. That implies it's far from being publicly available information.
Average internet mod according to Reddit users: “I love modding, I can rule with my iron fist and punish everyone that disagrees with me! Mwahahah!”
Actual average internet mod: “Why are people posting scat porn on a gardening forum, I hate my species”
exactly, they're weaponizing it. Grindr would just be outing them.
I did not expect that. But I expected not to expect something, so it doesnt count
thanks for using Leebra!

While I agree this would be hilarious, and would want them to do it, it scares me that it's possible. That they know who is using it and apparently keep a database of certain users whom they can then blackmail. It's probably just an empty threat though and I'm taking it too seriously.
