jaron Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Egyptian police 'are using Grindr to find and arrest LGBT people' 'It baffles me how easily people are willing to share such personal information in a country like Egypt' Grindr have warned users to be extremely careful Grindr Egyptian police are using Grindr and other dating apps to find and arrest members of the country's LGBT community, reports suggest. Officers have allegedly utilised the gay dating app to pinpoint the location of people suspected of being LGBT. According to an unnamed source from the Egyptian LGBT community, police have used the app to get within a "few hundred metres" of their targets, according to the Jerusalem Post. The source told Egyptian lifestyle magazine, Cairo Scene: "It is possible to tell a user's position within a few hundred metres, and many users include personal pictures, making them easily identifiable to cops. "It baffles me how easily people are willing to share such personal information in a country like Egypt. It is beyond stupid. "I would advise anyone to be careful when dating online." While homosexuality is not illegal in Egypt, authorities have continued to arrest members of the LGBT community under a "debauchery law". Activists have claimed the vague guidelines set out in the law allow police to arrest and secure convictions of LGBT people. In April, 11 men were given a total of 101 years in prison for a number of 'debauchery' offences, Gay Egypt reported. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/egyptian-police-grindr-dating-app-arrest-lgbt-gay-anti-gay-lesbian-homophobia-a7211881.html?cmpid=facebook-post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Why do Governments care about homosexuality always baffles me. In this complicated world is the least important issue.

Even if it's switched on it doesnt show distance, grindr banned this feature in countries where gays cant live safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eroticerotic Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I broke up with my grindr and scruff. I noticed I would only log on to get compliments and i rarely replied; unless i was drunk out or bored, and would basically troll others. Sometimes, very rarely, I did actually hook up. But I started to get weird vibes on them....this year actually. Profile pics seemed fake, the messages I would get were weird, and I started to recognize people I didn't even know, just knew them from seeing them on the apps. It was time to break up. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eroticerotic Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Exactly. Egypt has so many issues that needs to be addressed. But this ? a lot of uncivilized men who need old world religion to feel important still think that force = power = masculine = man. targeting gay men and women, since they've bullied to the point where it is easy to target them, probably helps them deal with their own homosexuality and they probably feel like they are doing the right thing. Brainwashing at it's best. I'll never understand the fixation on gay men and women unless it has something to do with insecurities going on inside that person's head.
