This is horrible. I hate that stuff like this happens.

There's obviously a pattern: https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/grindr-sends-egypt-users-warning-alleged-entrapments-arrests-rcna76349

Grindr, the world’s most popular gay dating app, sent a warning to all of its users in Egypt this week following reports that dozens of LGBTQ people had been arrested in the country over the weekend.

“We have been alerted that Egyptian police is actively making arrests of gay, bi, and trans people on digital platforms,” the warning message, first sent on Monday, says. “They are using fake accounts and have also taken over accounts from real community members who have already been arrested and had their phones taken.”
