This would require employees to manually verify which conversations were inappropriate, but given that Grindr’s annual revenue may be as high as $77 million, the company could probably afford it. Grindr could also use algorithms to detect conversations between minors and adults. But this brings up confidentiality risks for gay men who don’t want to be outed. Some gambling sites, for instance, make users upload a credit card or ID to prove their age. But it could certainly do more to try to verify ages. Grindr’s terms of service state that users must be 18 or older, and the app requires everyone to enter a birth date to join.
