> If you don't like this app and don't like the people behind it, stop making sure that every person who might be interested in it hears about it so they can add it to their phone.
It's not about free press for the devs as you make of it. I bet this app must have been doing rounds at anonynous image boards, porn sites and the like since the day it was launched. The Girls Around Me coverage is instead actually bringing to light the intense security threats such misuse of data can bring.
Merely 48 hours since these reports surfaced, the app has been yanked from the app store and its access to Foursquare data turned off. That says something about the need to bring these things to light. People who want it will find a way to get it anyway.
