    Based on how open source currently is funded and it’s a random github source. I wonder if, hypothetically, could iran send the owner a dm offering say $500k and get complete access to the phones of everyone running this app. I could see this being default installed on company phones if you work for the white house or federal government.

    Don’t make the github changes noticeable, keep the app working, but for example when it checks your location and sends that home imagine a slight change to also include complete browser history or list of installed apps.

    One of trump’s yes men receives a message “do what I ask or I’ll publish that you have grindr installed, your account name, and all the people you swiped right on…” that could give them insane power over the US government.
