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.

I mean is there anything more to this threat than a meme?

The Halfway Post is a satirical news site, so no, there is no evidence that Grindr said this or could actually do it. Still, it would be hilarious.

Ah I'm a dummy. Didn't even think it was from a satirical news site. Thanks!
