​"I am repeatedly targeted by fake dates (catfishing/ghosting) organized through multiple profiles created for the sole purpose of mocking people.

​The platform shares a huge part of the responsibility for enabling this malicious behavior due to its current architecture. Specifically: anyone can register endless accounts using a single phone number; when a user blocks you, their chat history and availability vanish, allowing them to return later under a new identity; and it is practically impossible to report or block these profiles because they usually block you first. Finally, there is no option for profile verification, user feedback, or rating systems.

​In short, Grindr provides stalkers with the perfect architecture to target defenseless users with impunity, while leaving victims with absolutely no tools to defend themselves."
