I looked this up, and it does not appear to be true.
Yeah apparently this is old but it stemmed from this (basically there are so many fags in high positions of our government that foreign ownership of Grindr posed a security risk that the US government had to intervene and try to force a sale of the company to more America-friendly fags):
The U.S. government, through CFIUS, pushed for the sale of Grindr from its Chinese owners due to national security concerns, fearing data (locations, sexual preferences, HIV status) could be exploited for blackmail against U.S. officials with clearances, leading to divestment and eventual public listing for Grindr. While a false rumor about Grindr threatening Republicans circulated recently, the government's focus was on Chinese ownership of sensitive user data, reflecting broader anxieties about foreign access to private information, especially concerning military/intelligence personnel.
Key U.S. Government Actions & Concerns
- CFIUS Intervention: The Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) flagged Beijing Kunlun Tech's ownership of Grindr as a national security risk, prompting a forced sale.
- Blackmail Risk: The core concern was that Chinese authorities could access sensitive user data (location, HIV status, sexual orientation) to blackmail U.S. government employees, military, and intelligence officers.
