Dating apps ‘worse than ever’ for your privacy, report warns
Dating apps are “worse than ever for your privacy,” a new report warns.

Instead of using your location to show you matches, Hinge shows a list of about 20 potential dates once a day that’s curated from friends of friends (of friends). You’ll see their full name, school and other information from their Facebook profile—which is how you sign up—but updat

Just as the internet has been an asset for schools, workplaces, and keeping in touch with friends throughout COVID-19, it is also a huge asset for those looking to start a romantic relationship.
