Grindr Is Owned by a Chinese Firm, and the U.S. Is Trying to Force It to Sell

The Trump Administration is expanding its efforts to block Chinese acquisitions in the United States, moving to force a Chinese firm that owns Grindr, the gay dating site, to relinquish control of the app over concerns that Beijing could use personal information to blackmail or influence American officials, according to people familiar with the situation.
The action, which is being driven by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, is unusual given that the panel typically investigates mergers that could result in control of an American business by a foreign individual or company, judging whether deals could threaten national security. This appears to be the first case in which the United States has asserted that foreign control of a social media app could have national security implications.

LucasP would have delivered a nice punchline.

What they are doing is gaining access to potentially compromising pictures that they can then use to extort politicians and business leaders into following their commands

CNN: Trump hates gays, making push to shut down Grindr.

First they put Peepee in our cokes, and now this?

Does this mean we will have to get new usernames?

...
How the frick does Grindr become a part of foreign policy?
And is this considered an extension of 50s era policy where gays couldn’t hold sensitive positions on security grounds (blackmail concerns)?

You want them going back to jackin off in BREC Parks and Coates Hall?
I didn't think so.

Some really, really important still-in-the-closet fig politician used the app and is freaking out.

How does refraining from posting dick picks on a dating app lead to people jacking off in parks?
That makes zero sense.

Good. The chinese are buying up our companies for the innovation, and then figuring out how to get in down the road. "Delayed Espionage" or some shite like that.
Similar to the way the bought IBMs Thinkpad/laptop div, and then Motorolas for Lenovo. Why spying chips are being found in them.
This is a part of the fight against them, and we need to do it.
Also, I think the owner/head of the chinese company also said something that was anti-gay. Which helps the action.
