This is deeply troubling. Anyone who uses Tinder or any other dating site should try requesting their data and realize that these services could likely label you a sexual deviant, racist or otherwise based on your swipes alone.

"Your ethnicity preference is white? You goddamn racist". This gets worse when those interpreters are in a position of power.
