If a dating app in non-premium mode only discloses your mutual swipe-rights, and the dating app in premium mode discloses all the swipe-rights you’ve received, then the dating app has two legitimate ways to use it.

I don’t understand why LW is using language suggesting the full-disclosure mode doesn’t count or is less legitimate or “how was my friend to know?” The dating apps I’ve been on have all prominently badged premium users, and it seems to me a good idea to look into whether premium users of an app get extra access to your information, before you go into the swipe-hypnosis mode LW describes.

I agree with AAM about whether it was appropriate to involve HR.
