Tinder to introduce ‘ID verification’ globally

It will initially be voluntary, except where mandated by law.

Popular online dating platform Tinder on August 17 said it would make ID verification available to members around the world in the coming quarters. The product, it said, will initially be voluntary, except where mandated by law, and based on the inputs received will “evolve to ensure an equitable, inclusive and privacy-friendly approach to ID verification”. “ID verification is complex and nuanced, which is why we are taking a test-and-learn approach to the roll-out,” Rory Kozoll, head, Trust and Safety Product at Tinder, said.
