Tinder will be required to store all user data for at least six months and make all of that data available upon the request of the Russian government.
Tinder, a ubiquitous dating app, will now be required to share all of its user data with Russia's state security service the FSB, according to an Internet rights group in the country.
In 2016, Russia passed a law that requires online applications and social media sites to store their data on a server based in the country and provide user data to the government when requested. Several tech giants have entered into lengthy battles with the Russian authorities over the new law. Russia banned the encrypted messaging app Telegram, for example, after it refused to comply with the law.

Some privacy advocates expressed concern that state security services could use the data to blackmail Tinder users in the future.
