A Healthcare App of a Different Kind
To survive, China’s biggest gay dating app became a pharmacy:
From its Beijing headquarters, BlueCity has quietly built China’s largest internet company geared toward LGBTQI people, an online dating empire that rivals competitors like the U.S.-based Match Group. Its main app is Blued, a location-based dating and livestreaming service for gay and bisexual men, with over 60 million registered users worldwide, bypassing Grindr last year in India, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea, and China. After going public on the NASDAQ exchange in 2020, BlueCity expanded by acquiring Lesdo, one of the largest lesbian dating apps in China, and Finka, a social network for younger gay and bisexual men.
While it’s best-known for its dating services, BlueCity has succeeded domestically, in part, by positioning itself as an entertainment platform and sexual health company. Since its founding, BlueCity has operated an HIV-focused nonprofit and slowly embedded itself in the state’s public health initiatives to combat the virus. Now, it’s expanding into health care technology more formally, by launching a digital pharmacy and internet hospital for Chinese men.
I feel like there is a potentially dangerous cleverness to this, especially given the recent approach of Beijing to tech, but for now, it’s an intriguing case story.

Weibo has required real-name verification upon registration since 2017, linking accounts to people’s official ID or phone number. But users who have been kicked off have been able to get back on using burner accounts from underground online shops.
It’s unclear how such shops set up bot accounts — none of those contacted would talk with a journalist. The cost of a burner account ranges from 0.5 yuan (7 cents) to 240 yuan ($35). The account sellers operate in a legal gray zone, catering mainly to accounts looking to boost their profiles. Authorities have been cracking down on such shops in recent years. In 2018, China’s central internet regulator launched a campaign to remove users who obtained burner accounts after being banned on social media platforms.”

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday called for a big expansion of U.S. government curbs on Chinese technology, saying that it wants to see “untrusted Chinese apps” pulled from the Google and Apple app stores.
Outside experts called Pompeo’s proposal vague and possibly illegal.
Pompeo called out popular video app TikTok and the messaging app WeChat, which people in the U.S. use…
