Controversy has surrounded the Grindr app pretty much since its inception. It’s faced backlash for storing user data even after they delete their account and leaking HIV statuses without permission. There was also that whole Conservative MP honeytrap incident, though that wasn’t strictly Grindr’s fault!
There's also the simple, inescapable fact that Grindr is a dating and hookup app for an already marginalized community, landing it in the unenviable position as one of the most banned apps around the world. In fact, it’s now banned in 13 different countries.
