These apps are not the police --at the same time they owe their users a responsibility to not expose them to sexual predators, deviants, extortionists, etc.
At the same time, they have to prevent maliciousness/revenge by people who don't handle rejection well.
Unfortunately, a robust system for reporting and assessment is costly, so you should err on the side of caution rather than expose your users to known depraved sexual perverts.
One thing they might do is share a database with other apps (ok, many are under the same parent co) and flag suspicious actors (I'm sure they have plenty of signal to work with to determine who is trying to get around the bans)
- UncleEntity 2y agoLet's be honest, these apps wouldn't exist if there were no real women on them. Seems to me the absolute bare minimum is to ensure the safety of your most valuable users. Not put your head in the sand. Not hide the facts. Most women won't go to the police but I expect they will report their victimization to the app which promises them they will take their reports seriously. A 158 years to life sentence seems like they weren't taking any reports seriously.
- graemep 2y agoThe solution would be to pass such reports on to the police. Rapists must be removed from society to stop them. Removing them from a few dating apps just impedes them
