Not better for anyone who ends up being stalked and/or raped as a result of a badly monitored/regulated dating app, though.
There's a public safety issue here: dating requires interpersonal negotiation for personal intimacy with consent, which in turn implies that a dating app needs to be "safe space". Facebook is notorious for leaking personal information to third parties (typically but not always advertisers). I have no knowledge of specific risks associated with Facebook's dating app, but the precautionary principle should apply in those cases where personal safety is at risk, and the sheer scale on which Facebook operates means that a dating app backed by the big F needs oversight.
Luckily, GDPR FTW.
