0:00.0 | Dating apps like Tinder aren't just trying to hold you hostage on their platforms. |
0:03.0 | We're now seeing reports that they are openly allowing people flagged for sex crimes to stay on their apps, |
0:07.0 | including one doctor who has convicted of 305 counts of drugging and assaulting women, |
0:11.0 | with his victims saying that all of this could have been prevented if he had been banned from the apps. |
0:15.0 | IDF has become a global multi-billion dollar industry, and because of that, many are now preying on poor women and even girls on the |
0:20.9 | black market to further the so-called human egg trade. And experts say that RFK Jr. is potentially |
0:25.2 | setting the country up for a massive food disaster that could poison and kill who knows how many |
0:29.2 | people because of his massive FDA cuts. We're deep diving into all of that on today's brand new |
0:33.0 | Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news, how it's being covered, and how people are reacting to it, starting with this. We need to talk about dating apps, assault, and what one company knows |

1:15.3 | almost every country on earth controlling roughly half the world's online dating market and |
1:19.4 | facilitating meetups for potentially millions of people every month. And that is we live in a time |
1:23.6 | where people are now more likely to meet through online dating than through personal contacts |
1:27.2 | and connections. So with that, of course, it's more of an open question as to whether a match group |

1:34.0 | company goes out of its way to make sure you don't actually do that, claiming that its apps make |
