We don't dump them into Twitter or Facebook, we offer a Mastodon instance where they experiment safely. When confident, they can expand their horizons effortlessly.

2 years ago, we observed Grindr sharing exact location data with 8 data brokers in the 'advertising' space, including MoPub, back then owned by Twitter.

Now the WSJ found that this data has actually been available for sale, via MoPub, since at least 2017:
