Exclusive: Told U.S. security at risk, Chinese firm seeks to sell Grindr dating app

(Reuters) - Chinese gaming company Beijing Kunlun Tech Co Ltd is seeking to sell Grindr LLC, the popular gay dating app it has owned since 2016, after a U.S. government national security panel raised concerns about its ownership, according to people familiar with the matter.

 

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has informed Kunlun that its ownership of West Hollywood, California-based Grindr constitutes a national security risk, the two sources said.

 

CFIUS’ specific concerns and whether any attempt was made to mitigate them could not be learned. The United States has been increasingly scrutinizing app developers over the safety of personal data they handle, especially if some of it involves U.S. military or intelligence personnel.

What?  Let’s pretend for a moment these cock-gobbling Cons aren’t just afraid of another one getting caught (how many have spoken out against homosexuality and abortions and then been caught doing those things?  Is it in the 20s?). How is a dating app a national security issue?

The fact that it's a "dating" app isnt the issue. Its apps in general that seek personal information or just access to their phone basically and use their personal data. Dont get caught up it the fact it's a "gay dating" being the reason its questioned.
