Hey! I deleted the Tinder tweet, which I assumed was the perfect DC dating app scam to ensnare liberal women, but actually described a real whistleblower facing serious charges. Don't know if the profile was actually him, but didn't feel right to make light.
The profile may or may not have been real, but Daniel Hale is -- and he's facing up to 50 years in prison for allegedly leaking documents to journalists about the U.S. drone program.

The documents allegedly leaked "detailed a secret, unaccountable process for targeting and killing people around the world, including U.S. citizens"
While Hale faces 50 years, "No one has ever been held accountable for killing civilians in drone strikes" https://theintercept.com/2019/05/09/statement-on-the-indictment-of-alleged-drone-strike-whistleblower/

Tweeting a Tinder profile that described this dude was a mistake, and I'm sorry for it. I hope at the very least it brings some attention to the drone papers, and to Daniel Hale's case. https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/
