Comment on How I was able to track the location of any Tinder userparent

Comments

This is something the phone of each user itself could do. All that is necessary is for the app to generate a random offset for the latitude and another one for the longitude at startup then report their location + constant offset instead of their actual location to Tinder.

Now the worst thing that will happen is someone triangulates a point say, 1/4 mile away from you.
