A priest’s cautionary tale in dating and data privacy

Earlier this month, a Catholic media outlet published a story exposing a priest for using the dating app Grindr, costing him his job. The article was based on private location data that was traced to a phone belonging to the priest.  The incident highlights the shortcomings of the country’s inadequate privacy laws. Recode’s Sara Morrison (@SaraMorrison) joins us today to break down what happened. References: Read Sara’s story here.  Enjoyed this episode?
