Tinder orders researcher to remove dataset of 40,000 profile pictures

From Sophos Naked Security:

Tinder orders researcher to remove dataset of 40,000 profile pictures

"Following a privacy kerfluffle, Tinder told a developer to remove a dataset of 40,000 of its users’ images that he had published in six downloadable zip files and released under a CC0: Public Domain License.

The dataset was called People of Tinder.

The developer, Stuart Colianni, who not-so-charmingly referred to the Tinder users as “hoes” in his source code, was using the images to train artificial intelligence."
