A new dating app for conservatives:
[PowerLine] It is called The Right Stuff and is said to be intended for conservatives. It is new, and now is the subject of a very odd story: "Right-wing dating app users on ’The Right Stuff’ contacted by FBI."

Users of a right-wing dating app founded by former Trump staffers have reported that they’re receiving calls from the FBI after answering one particular question in their dating profiles.

[A] third complaint is emerging from users — that answering a profile prompt question that asked "January 6 was..." has led to them being contacted by law enforcement.

A quick scroll through the reviews in the app store reveal several comments complaining of having a phone call from the FBI shortly after filling out the profile.

Is it possible that the FBI is monitoring answers to questions on a dating app to go after people who have a bad attitude toward the January 6 demonstration? How would they do that, without having, as one commenter alleges, "back door access"? The idea seems ridiculous, but the Democrats are obsessed with the January 6 protest, and the FBI has so far seemed willing to indulge the Democrats’ fantasies.

The whole thing is odd. But the app itself may not have much of a future. It is a pain even to register, as I found when I downloaded it. And it suffers from a more fundamental flaw than being monitored by the FBI: apparently there are hardly any women on it.

#4  Maybe the enthusiastic reviews are FBI entrapment?

#3  I looked it up in the Apple Store. Almost all reviews were enthusiastic, the few bad ones being mostly blatant lefty trolling.

The real questions, it seems to me, is whether Peter Thiel would deliberately open up his customers to FBI harassment, and whether the claimed harassment is true or more lefty trollery.

#1  Is it possible that the FBI is monitoring answers to questions on a dating app to go after people who have a bad attitude toward the January 6 demonstration?

Not only possible, but likely. "Back Door Access" is unnecessary if they own and operate the site. I suspect it will go dead (be terminated) very soon.
