I didn’t follow the previous discussion, but if I were a conspiracist, I’d think that someone in the US government is already or has the potential to be exposed as a Grindr user, and is therefore using their influence to keep the information out of the hands of a foreign government?

    Wouldn't it be too late for that? Presumably, the foreign government has up-to-the-minute data from Grindr, besides the decade of historical data up to this minute.

    I assumed the concern is about future sensitive information.

    Then they're too late.
