The Renaissance Vatican infamous for papal concubinage seems a golden age compared to this:
Analysis of commercially available signal data obtained by The Pillar, which was legally obtained and whose authenticity The Pillar has
confirmed, shows that during a period of 26 weeks in 2018, at least 32
mobile devices emitted serially occurring hookup or dating app data
signals from secured areas and buildings of the Vatican ordinarily
inaccessible to tourists and pilgrims.
At least 16 mobile devices emitted signals from the hookup app Grindr on at least four days between March to October 2018 within the non-public areas of the Vatican City State, while 16 other devices showed use of other location-based hookup or dating apps, both heterosexual and homosexual, on four or more days in the same time period.
The data set assessed by The Pillar is commercially available and contains location and usage information which users consent to be collected and commercialized as a condition of using the app.
Extensive location-based hookup or dating app usage is evident within the walls of Vatican City, in restricted areas of St. Peter’s Basilica, inside Vatican City government and Holy See’s administration buildings including those used by the Vatican’s diplomatic staff, in residential buildings, and in the Vatican Gardens, both during daytime hours and overnight.
