The FTC said that “OkCupid provided the third party with access to nearly three million OkCupid user photos as well as location and other information without placing any formal or contractual restrictions on how the information could be used.” OkCupid “did not inform consumers or give them the chance to opt out of such sharing,” the FTC said.

True, but their customers include military. So they'll probably be more focused on harming queer folks

Fascists need lots of scapegoats for their piss poor handling of everything. This affects everyone, you better believe it, and these clowns sincerely want to target white leftists more than anything.
