    The writing on the wall says this will be required to access anything on the internet. I’ll go a step farther and say, DNA will be required to access the internet. Only once life would be impossible to live without access. Getting closer and closer.

    In the context of online dating, I actually agree with implementing the same level of KYC checks that banks and credit card issuers have adopted. I also think the FTC needs to step in and break up the monopoly Match Group has created.

    All of these platforms are littered with fake profiles, scammers and foreign women searching for the means to a green card. It’s made them practically unusable.

    Maybe it is finally time for open-source(ish) dating to make an impact!

    (It won’t. I tried it a couple years back and it is a ghost town!)

      It’s probably a Goldilocks zone thing where too few prevents it from working, and too many will inevitably be overrun by bots and scanners.

    Oh, people didn’t like the idea of giving their ID to third parties? Let’s move up to irreplaceable body parts. Next step: your fucking blood. Good luck declaring that one stolen when the database inevitably leaks.

      That reminds me of my ex, she was willing to give her physical address and phone number to anyone who asked, but not her email address, because of security concerns.

    Hey, you! Yea, you reading this.

    This scan won’t work on you. The app will get lost in your eyes. 😏

      If it’s anything like whatever eyeball tech my local DMV was using last time I had to go in for a new license, it won’t work because I have to forcibly open my eyes so ludicrously far, like Gowron on meth, that I would never put that on their app.

    Oh I just watched a video on this the other day, apparently scammers (like the types who do romance scams, pretending to be a gorgeous guy, then taking all your money) are getting around this security function.

    They upload all stolen pics of a gorgeous guy (probably exists for women versions too) then there’s one picture of them, because they have to have one pic of themselves to get the verification tick. But that one pic is obscured, like a face on a billboard or add on a poster on a street. And then tinder verifies the whole account, regardless of the other pics. I forget, it’s either bumble or hinge, I think it was bumble, deletes all the pics that don’t look like you, after verification, so those were sites that block that scam.

    That’s an aside from ai profiles. There does need to be something to protect users from scammers. I couldn’t ever speak for what the best verification option is, myself.

    Haven’t used Tinder in a few years, but I guess I won’t be using it in the future. I’m not scanning my eye to use what is arguably the worst dating app.

    The Match Group-owned platform is partnering with World, the identity verification project by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, to introduce a system that uses iris scans to confirm a person is human.
