As most of us know, all humanity now spends most of their time on the internet, and they do their work and interactions through these channels. Of course, when this is the case, it is inevitable that social issues will shift to digital environments. Online dating applications that people use to establish relationships or friendships are also among the platforms that are widely used around the world.
However, it is a known fact that such platforms can cause some negative consequences. After all, we know nothing about the people we meet from here and their past. This can lead to frightening consequences later on. Now, a move has come from Tinder, one of the world’s most popular dating apps.
The matched person’s criminal history can be searched
According to the news, Tinder has announced that it has introduced a new feature for its users in the USA. According to the explanations, this feature will allow users to get information about the history of the people they match. It was also stated that this feature was made available with the help of Tinder and the non-profit organization Garbo, which publishes people’s criminal records online. As we told you last year, Tinder announced that it has partnered with Garbo to make its app more secure.
According to the explanations, users will be able to access Garbo’s website and database of millions of people after clicking the blue shield in the application. After that, things such as the name and phone number of the matched person will be searched on the site and if any, his criminal record will be found. In addition, within the scope of this feature, the first two uses will be free; However, it was also among the news that later on, users would be charged $2.50 for each history search.
According to the statements made, warnings will be given about people who have violent crimes in their past interrogations. It was stated that non-violent minor crimes such as possession of drugs will not be included in the scope of the service. In addition, the company states that the absence of a criminal record in the results of the person searched in the history search may not indicate that this person is 100% safe; For this reason, he emphasized that users should check the security tips in the application.
