The real issue for Grindr is liability…. And to a lesser extent, the safety of the users and lgbtq community: people are targeted by bigots, racists, and psychopaths (which includes governments). LGBTQ people across the ethnic spectrum, across the globe are being assaulted and murdered, en masse.
The ethnicity filter only helps one segment of that coalition, the racists.
I feel like the bigger question is: if Grindr could do more to prevent this violence and also actively seek justice in cases where someone is harmed, WHY DON’T THEY?
I personally want the ethnicity filter restored.
