The company behind more than a dozen dating apps, Match Group, has known for years about the abusive users on its platforms, but chooses to leave millions of people in the dark
Even after a police report, it took nearly two months for Matthews to be arrested — the only thing that got him off the apps. By then, at least 15 women would eventually report that Matthews had raped or drugged them. Nearly every one of them had met him on dating apps run by Match Group.
What the fuck. This is horrifying… Class-action lawsuit when??
Much, much less important, but is there any decent online dating anyone would recommend?
You can’t separate wealth from power so the only way to prevent the wealthy from capturing our governments is to abolish all the billionaires and to aggressively restrict the maximum amount of wealth a single person can own
The only ones I liked other than OKCupid (which is owned by Match) are Scruff and Hornet. But they’re mostly only for men who like men and are hookup-focused, so not really suitable for dating, necessarily.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There are none. Match.com gobbles up all dating apps that become even slightly popular.
Match should be broken up. But apparently some people learned nothing from history and some people don’t care as long as they make money

That seems fine to me.

Alovoa sounds nice, but I didn’t try it out myself.
Yuck. Match group needs to be disbanded. It’s insane that they own all the dating apps.
