Grindr to Pay £26 Million to Settle U.K. Claims Over HIV Status Data Sharing
Grindr will pay £26 million ($35.1M) to settle U.K. claims from 10,000+ users over pre-2020 sharing of HIV status and other sensitive data.
Grindr agreed to pay £26 million ($35.1 million) to settle a U.K. lawsuit brought on behalf of more than 10,000 claimants over sharing users' HIV status, last tested date, and other personal data with third parties for advertising before 2020, when the app was owned by China's Kunlun. The settlement, disclosed in a September 2 SEC filing, includes no findings or admission of liability, with £13 million due by December 31, 2026 and the rest by March 31, 2027. Norway's data protection authority previously fined Grindr £8.6 million (reduced to £5.5 million) under GDPR, a decision upheld on appeal last October.

Norway announces investigations into telecom Telenor’s work with Myanmar junta
Norwegian police opened crimes-against-humanity and sanctions investigations into Telenor's data handovers to Myanmar's junta, raiding its Oslo headquarters.
Norway's National Criminal Investigation Service is investigating Telenor for complicity in crimes against humanity for repeatedly handing over historical customer traffic data to Myanmar's military regime between the February 2021 coup and the March 2022 subsidiary sale. The Police Security Service is separately probing sanctions violations because the sale to M1 Group included sanctioned surveillance equipment transferred without foreign ministry permission. The subsequent resale passed historical call data of over 18 million people to junta-linked owners, and a class action on behalf of 1,200 people alleges the data enabled arrests, torture, and at least one execution.
