It can't be overstated how devastating this news will be for people who use these apps. People in these communities often use apps like these because it's safer than being out and open at their physical locations and/or jobs.

I love this new sicko variant
I read this headline without batting an eye before realizing it's satire.
Perhaps ironically, the article itself is an ad.
To save anyone a click, it tells you to uncheck "promotions" and "social" in gmail settings. (I can tell you from personal experience that Google's willingness to respect this setting is dodgy.)
It also suggests using a non-chromium browser with an adblocker.
This isn't in the article, but obviously using an email client like Thunderbird might help.
It finishes by suggesting you to try Tuta(tm) Mail for free! Which, after reading this needlessly wordy article only to be hit with an ad, I've just decided I will never ever do.
