That's an untenable position. Bumble should (and does) block pornographic, illegal, or harassing content. As already mentioned in the post, sending unsolicited nudes is illegal in at least one jurisdiction, so it's hardly a stretch to include unsolicited nudes in this category.

Isn't that exactly what this feature is? Users still have the option to view potential nudes; they just aren't exposed by default. It seems obvious that the feature should be opt-out (rather than opt-in), given that the majority of users would prefer not to be exposed to unsolicited nudes.
- DarkWiiPlayer 4y agoIf you let users add an "is okay with nudes" flag, to their profile, then those who want could just consent to receiving unsolicited nudes while anyone else can have a safe experience free of unexpected sausage. I don't see how that is in any way less practical than outright blocking everything.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoI imagine you’re a guy thinking about how you don’t mind a free pic of some sweet leche carriers landing in your inbox, but the only women who send unsolicited nudes are OnlyFans spammers.
- nebulousthree 4y agoYes.. Go on..?
- DarkWiiPlayer 4y agoSurprisingly enough, you're wrong with nearly every single assumption you made in your comment, starting as far back as with me not even using any dating apps.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoFair enough. Was the “nearly” because you are indeed an appreciator of some sweet mommy milkers and that’s the one I got right, at least?
