Online Safety & Security: Dating Apps & Online Marketplaces – Jeff Tinsley – PSW #703
Safety in online dating spaces is an issue the dating industry has grappled with for some time; with the surge of dating app usage during the pandemic, the demand for dating apps to take responsibility and ensure safer online interactions is at an all-time high. RealMe is a technology platform that hopes to solve this problem on dating apps (and other online marketplaces) by providing in-app background checks that aggregate publicly available information on criminal records, sex offender status, personal reviews, and more.
