It sucks, but you can't save people from themselves.

Case in point: I periodically fish for people browsing Ashley Madison at work. They go onto a watchlist as candidates for blackmail (I'm moved to tears by how many of them have clearances). The presumption is that if you're doing this on a work device, you're hiding something from your spouse (which can be exploited).

The Chinese play the sextortion game; I assume their interest in Grindr was related.
