"Grindr is only for adults aged 18 and over. Keeping minors off our platform is a top priority. We invest significant resources including an age gate, device-level bans, human moderation, proprietary AI tools, and partnerships with child-safety organizations to prevent and remove underage users."
"creates a single, secure age-verification process at the app-store level and allows developers to receive a verified age signal"
"This approach, supported by nearly 90% of parents, is safer and more consistent than requiring users to verify their age separately across many apps. By contrast, the UK and EU are moving toward fragmented rules that force adults to share sensitive personal information with thousands of apps, creating unnecessary privacy and safety risks."
Grindr announced support for the App Store Accountability Act introduced by Representatives John James and Mike Lee. The bill would create a single, secure app-store-level age-verification process that supplies developers with a verified age signal. Grindr emphasizes that preventing underage users is a top priority and describes investments in age gates, device-level bans, human moderation, proprietary AI tools, and partnerships with child-safety organizations. Grindr argues centralized verification, backed by strong parental support, is safer and more consistent than separate app checks and warns that divergent UK and EU rules could force adults to share sensitive personal data and increase privacy risks. Critics express concern the measures could enable censorship of LGBTQ+ content.
