It's obviously very disappointing I believe the words that he specifically used were that he believed marriage was a holy matrimony between a man and a woman.

What that implies and what that leads one to infer is that he believes that gay marriage is different from — and somehow lesser than — a straight marriage. As a private citizen or an employee, you certainly have your right to your private beliefs, but when a leader in the gay community says these things, they're disrespecting the decades-long work of marriage equality activists, and I think more ominously, they're giving credibility and oxygen to far-right politicians who continue to try and undermine these rights that we really just recently won.
What do you know about the owners of Grindr? I know that today, Grindr is entirely owned by a Chinese company.

I think what this whole incident shines a light on is just how important the identity and personal beliefs of the tech company leaders really are in This is another instance that speaks to how important the personal beliefs of the leaders of these companies: When your personal beliefs are not in alignment with the community that you're serving, it can lead you to make choices with very significant and sometimes very harmful decisions for that community.
To bring it back to Grindr, they chose to sell or to give away HIV data of their members to advertisers. You have to ask yourself, "Had that community been owned by a company or led by a company that had gay men at the helm or queer men and women at the helm, would they have made the same decision and been able to perceive the consequences to their community a bit better? Tell me more about how Scruff pursues a business model, and I guess an approach to technology, that's different from some of the tech companies you mentioned.
There's a trope running around Silicon Valley right now that tech executives don't use the products that they're building We here at Scruff absolutely do. That manifested in the decision we made this year to get rid of all programmatic advertising from our app, and to forgo any kind of data integration with Facebook.

We're the only gay app — and I believe we are the only dating app, or certainly the only major dating app — who can stand here today and say that. We do not share the data of our members with third-party companies. Can you explain what programmatic advertising is, in plain speak? We ripped out banner ads. The banner ads, they're terrible, they look bad. They're annoying, they're scammy, they're spamming.
They're extracting data about you and shuttling it all over the internet. So why are they called "programmatic? In that instant, you have advertisers who are bidding on that impression. These advertisers want their ads to reach different people, and some of them want to specifically reach gay men. In this kind of real-time moment that resembles a stock exchange, advertisers see that you're using, in this case, Grindr. They can see that, and they can run an ad they think is appropriate to show you. This phenomenon was sold to us in the early days as a way to show people more relevant ads.
Well, the issue now is that data doesn't just stop with the advertisers anymore — you can easily envision scenarios where that data about your usage of Grindr includes your listed HIV status. Now, that's a very scary and — arguably — dystopian scenario. But it's one that's become increasingly discussed and is part of the reason why the European government passed a very strict privacy law this year. When reached for comment about programmatic advertising, a spokesperson for Grindr offered the following: Mamba Rated 3. TED Rated 4 out of 5 stars. What's new in this version Version 4.
