Grindr, the world's biggest dating app for the LGBT community, is being sued for allegedly sharing personal information such as people's HIV status with third parties.
According to the claim, lodged at the High Court in London, "covert tracking technology" was deployed, and highly sensitive information was illegally shared with advertisers.
Law firm Austen Hays says there are more than 650 claimants and "thousands" of UK users were affected.
Grindr says it will "respond vigorously" to the claim.

Almost classified this as "political humor."
Okay, so are they "proud" of their HIV status or aren't they? Remember #ShoutYourStatus?
These pervs are so confusing.

Haven’t figured it out yet? If you don’t want the whole world to know something about you, do not ever post that data online, not to anyone, not even to some “anonymous” opinion survey. That’s the way it’s been since AOL was king of the digital hill.

If you put your medical information on a public platform you can not invoke HIPPA.
You published it.

Never mind. I see this is in the UK and they have some very odd laws there.

Men on grindr looking to pick up men but let’s not tell anyone you are looking to have sex with men who have HIV.
Meanwhile, Covid status is asked and is everywhere.

That’s probably it. Somebody stated out loud what was only implied or hinted about.

I’m not a lawyer, but it seems to me that anyone who shares medical information with a social media platform has basically waived any claim they ever had to medical confidentiality.

The entire reason we have HIPPA is this. So as not to out queers. It has no other purpose. None.
