Okay, that's because Grindr users choose to publicly share their current location; that's the point of the app. Governments having an API that lets them access data that users publicly share seems substantively different from governments having access to private information, obtaining that information by subverting internal controls at TikTok and ByteDance intended to keep it private. I think anyone not arguing for arguments sake would acknowledge that

Most apps coerce their users into sharing location information. That's why they released apps and did not just use progressive web apps in the first place.

But, this is done under the guise of commercial interests, usually advertising, so it's okay?
