What happens when users of an app like Tinder and Hinge (two of many owned by Match Group) report that a date has sexually assaulted them? Absolutely nothing, according to an exhaustive new investigation by nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqvuk0jef6j3t4y9c8zgx5ked4r98d253j5vxqspkaj34dp0zg9z0sla3yqm (nprofile…3yqm), @the19th@flipboard.com and The Guardian. Abusers have been allowed to stay on platforms, in direct contravention of Match Group’s official safety policy, and have gone on to carry out more assaults. “Since 2019, Match Group’s central database has recorded every user reported for rape and assault across its entire suite of apps; by 2022, the system, known as Sentinel, was collecting hundreds of troubling incidents every week, company insiders say.”
