Grindr n’a pas reçu de consigne pour empêcher les athlètes d’avoir des relations pendant les JO. La raison du blocage de certaines fonctionnalités est bien plus triste : Grindr cherche à les protéger de l’homophobie et des conséquences éventuelles lors d’un retour dans un pays qui criminalise les personnes LGBTQ+. Les Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024, comme toutes les manifestations sportives internationales, sont des lieux de rencontre. Et si l’on a considéré un temps que les lits en carton des athlètes étaient des lits anti-sexe, il n’en est rien : le CIO est conscient qu’une telle manifestation est propice aux rencontres, d’un soir ou d’une vie — en témoignent les quelques 200 000 préservatifs distribués aux sportifs et sportives pendant la compétition. Mais pour les personnes qui utilisent l’application Grindr, dédiée aux rencontres entre hommes, la compétition pourrait tourner au cauchemar.
