Swiping right on Tinder gets you contact with that person. Nothing more. No guarantee of content topic (or sex). You're swiping to talk to someone.

- xraystyle 9y ago> You're swiping to talk to someone. The key word in your sentence above is 'someone'. Not a goddamn bot whose raison d'être is to spam you with an unsolicited political message. How anyone can look at this and not see it as anything other than spam is beyond me.
- dwaltrip 9y agoNothing in life is "guaranteed". However, we often manage to form reasonable expectations about how things work. And when such reasonable expectations are broken, there are ramifications. In this case, I would guess that unexpected political spam devalues Tinder and makes people less likely to use it. Imagine if large numbers of organizations started using Tinder to spread a message or support their cause. It would make finding a date on the app significantly more frustrating.
