Because they are after all the LGBT, nobody is safe, and the companies running these systems are building the profiles that will be used when they move on to the next step of christian nationalist agression.

    Bars in the Castro are almost entirely LGBT-owned. So I'd expect that the owners will be maintaining some due diligence of the companies used. Could be wrong, though.

    Most people, LGBT or otherwise, don't really pay attention to who owns the data and how it is processed. It's all in the ToS, and they just click agree. The "they" doesn't need to be the on using it to be dangerous. In fact, I'd say it is more dangerous to have someone who is not malicious, but is uninformed, to be your exposure to the corporate backend that is actively monitoring your group.
