Norway’s Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) has fined Xandr, a Microsoft-owned advertising company, $9.6M (NOK 92 million) for unlawfully processing and sharing sensitive data belonging to Grindr users in the country.
Microsoft makes $65 Billion in pure profit every year.
C’mon Norway. Make ‘em feel it.

That feels like it should be a LOT bigger fine. Grindr isn’t just some app; sharing user data is functionally outing those people as gay which could have big implications for them if they weren’t open about it already.
