Grindr warns Egyptian users of potential dangers.

Grindr, a popular dating app for the LGBTQ+ community, has issued a warning to its users in Egypt as police impersonate community members to target and arrest individuals through digital platforms. Although homosexuality is not technically outlawed in Egypt, members of the LGBTQ+ community are frequently prosecuted on the grounds of ‘debauchery’ or ‘violating public decency.’ The warning comes after rights groups and media have reported how authorities in the wider region are increasingly taking to digital platforms to crack down on the LGBTQ+ community.
