Gravely in danger, for all 18+ (within the US at least) is a bit of a stretch. You can find the current/last known address of nearly any registered voter with a simple Google search. I'm not exactly sure why or how, but you can. There are also services, that aren't exactly expensive, in which you can buy the phone number or address of nearly everybody in the U.S. If you think being able to triangulate and pinpoint the location of somebody via a dating app constitutes grave danger... Well, there are much graver dangers that can't be fixed by any $ bounty all around us. I'm not trying to say that what happened with Bumble isn't bad, and it makes the company look somewhat foolish, but in 2021, finding the location of somebody in most developed countries, aside from your ultra secure OPSEC average HN user, is quite a simple task. |
