Tinder Plans to verify the identification: A feature currently available in Japan: Accessible to all its users, says the company.
For now, we have few details about how this update, which is expected to move in “the next quarter”, will work. In a statement, Tinder said that the verification of the ID “would begin as a volunteer” and that it would consult with experts to determine “what documents are the most appropriate in each country,” and other details.
Tinder executives noted that verification of identification can be a “complex and nuanced” problem, and that some users “could have convincing reasons that can not or do not want to share their real-world identity with an online platform” . The company said you are working with several experts to ensure that your approach is “equitable”.
The verification of identification would be the latest security update for appointment application, which has added other features aimed at reassuring users about the identity of their possible coincidences. The company has also implemented an anti-catcale function, and the group of matches of the parent company of Tinder was associated with the Garbo Background Verification Platform earlier this year.
