Bumble is finally catching up with competitor Tinder with a new ID verification feature as dating app users urge for more safety measures.
In addition to ID verification, the company also released three more features, including a feature that flags inappropriate messages in chat before users hit send and the ability to share date details with friends. Bumble also launched a “Discover” page dedicated to helping users find matches with similar interests.
Bumble’s new verification feature lets users submit a picture of a government-issued ID to authenticate their identity and earn a badge for their profile. This allows users to sort profiles according to those who are ID verified and also to ask their matches to complete the verification process.

My now long standing belief is that dating apps should be nationalised. It makes so much sense it’s hard to argue against.

I’d much sooner see electricity and telecom nationalized. Dating apps are just a racket and unnecessary.

I agree in regards to priority obviously but imagine that you have a dating app that doesn’t exist to extract every last cent out of you and is ran by people who are graded by amount of successful matches. There’s a huge crisis of solitude among younger people and technology is not the only reason for it. It can help a bit though.

Nope Nope Nope. I do not want the government having that data. Knowing our governments, they will contract this to third parties who will almost certainly sell that data.

I know this is my most crackpot take and I usually ease people into the concept by listing increasingly novel business types that need to be nationalised :P
I’m putting this in the air so that people can start thinking what a modern services could be provided by a healthy social democratic system. If I can convince capitalists that nationalising card processing is beneficial to everyone then one day I’ll convince y’all to nationalise Valve.
