I think that it’s possible they realize privacy concerns are not foremost in the minds of people looking to hook up with perfect strangers. I would guess that “random hookup” and “serious about security” will tend to be mutually exclusive.
- mirror23 9y agoMost people who use Tinder, and most people in general don't know what encryption is or what its for
- walrus01 9y agoyes, but inexcusable on the part of the tinder software developers, IMHO, considering the very low technical/knowledge barrier to entry to do proper TLS1.2 everywhere now.
- natethinks 9y agoYou assume the tinder devs have the freedom to work on what they want to. As frustrating as it is, in big corporate engineering shops, you are paid to do what the execs want to be done, not what you know needs doing.
- walrus01 9y agoOkay, so whatver CTO thinks this is acceptable needs to be shown the door.
- anonytrary 9y agoI disagree. There will be a line to draw between acceptable participants and unacceptable ones, regardless of the game. For example, even though drug deals are illegal and sketchy, there is still etiquette to be followed; there is still a chance you could be "sketchy" to the majority of drug dealers. There is a proper way to behave for random hookups, and there is an improper way to behave. The difference may actually accentuated in hookups (and other high-risk activities) because there is more at stake.
