Senators push Match to act against dating scams on its apps

Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan and Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn gave Match—which operates Tinder, Hinge, and OkCupid—until October 15 to provide evidence of efforts to prevent romance scams and show how such fraud occurs.

Two U.S. senators sent a letter to Tinder parent Match on September 24 pushing for action against dating scams on the company’s platforms and asking for information about its efforts to detect fraud and protect its users.
