• Original Pillar piece
• WP/MSN version (that linked to Pillar)
• WP follow-up where Grindr officially remained skeptical of the Pillar's data claims, presumably because they thought location data was struck or sufficiently anonymized
• Pillar's followup statement (direct image link), with no new information on what "obtained and authenticated a data set" entailed

Some Twitter replies express frustration in their being so cagey about something they claim is so easy. A few others condemn Pillar's privacy violations, but obviously those are built in to the software.

Still others question whether they contacted the right person in the RCC. I'm beginning to wonder myself whether they went more for bombast than concern. Did they show his superiors the data, or is this all a "trust me, bro" situation? We can't expect the mainstream media to care about the distinction, but this guy's organization would. I imagine they found a lot of other correlations. Was this just the first guy to resign?

I wish we had more information.
