Sharing More Than Just Your Heart

No matter how much you know about your matches, Tinder knows more about you. The senseless swiping of Tinder has certainly arisen since the platform’s humble beginnings in 2012 with it accessing it’s more than 57 million users 24/7 location information and more ‘in order to function’.

The app’s approach to romance is straightforward and cutthroat using three criteria: looks, availability and location. In the search for love, sex or something else, you must connect your Facebook account or mobile number to sign up, sharing your photos and basic biographical information along with some snappy bio about how you’re “Just here for a dog” or “Really like pasta”. You share these things and your geo-location, hunting your potential partner(s) within a set kilometre radius, continuously swiping in hope of a match.

The amount is staggering to say the least. In 2017 with the much needed help of a human rights lawyer and privacy activist, The Guardian’s Judith Duportail was granted access to her personal data kept by Tinder.

My advice? Take your chances offline — and instead of swiping left to potential partners, swipe left and delete Tinder instead.
