this feels like a big deal. dating apps, for a long time, allowed for relative anonymity. okcupid let people have usernames and tinder never required a last name, but background checks, which require either a last name or phone number, change that https://t.co/nEgBLchqMe

match is investing a seven-figure sum in a nonprofit called garbo, which says it wont surface drug offenses or traffic violations. the goal is to disclose violent offenses so people, mainly women, feel safer going on a date

ofc this brings up big questions. i especially wonder how this will impact formerly incarcerated people, will dating apps essentially weed them out?

Tinder will soon let you perform background checks, allowing users to see the arrest record or violence history of a user.

It'll be interesting to see how the app integrates the feature making users feel a bit safer without alienating those with a past.https://t.co/hX8lq9RbxD pic.twitter.com/1u49DviBUq

I dont even understand what kind of backwards nation would think its okay to let 3rd party have your criminal record. Around here only you can request it sure jobs will ask for it but they can't check by themselves.https://t.co/RtugVz3DSD

Today, it is easier for stalkers to find your home address online than it is to find whether someone has records of gender-based violence. @kathrynkosmides is changing this with her nonprofit @garbo_io, which announced its partnership with @Tinder today: https://t.co/2k9H8wvhI3

I definitely get that people want to feel secure, but afaik the numbers on people who used dating apps to commit violence indicate most of them didn’t have a record and so wouldn’t have popped up on a background check https://t.co/VTYKI5ZQrk
