Chinese Company Buys Grindr

Josh Rogin of WaPo has weighed in on the hazards of the Kunlun Group out of China, taking over the International Gay Dating App, Grindr.

It could be that China just fished thousands of new agents out of the closet in the USA, and maybe even a richer haul from the Middle East.
