An account on Grindr called “GiantCockNYC” is constantly reappearing in users’ messages despite being blocked, with the account owner claiming they are an employee for the hookup app who is able to repeatedly remove the blocks.
“Everyday I block this account. Wtf,” a Grindr user who goes by the pseudonym ML on Twitter wrote in a message to GiantCockNYC, according to a screenshot of the conversation. ML tweeted a cropped screenshot of the conversation on Tuesday, and shared the full screenshot with 404 Media.
“I work for the app lol I view who blocks and I remove it lmao,” GiantCockNYC replied. Tech companies often have problems with malicious insiders, with some using access to stalk love interests, or otherwise inappropriately interact with user data.
