Isn’t Grindr an American company? It feels very anti-US anti-gay weaponization of the GDPR.
Grindr does operate in Europe, though. And its core functionality relies on hella location data (my friend in college used to check whether his roommate was home by opening Grindr and seeing if his roommate was the closest match... 5m away? guess he's home!) so I think requiring them to use that data appropriately is prudent.
Why specifically anti-gay?

> Grindr’s practice of sharing sensitive personal data with third parties

Doesn’t really seem like a defensible practice - are you saying it’s a common one, and therefore singling out Grindr and not say Bumble is a red flag?
