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

0:41.7

about abusive users on its platforms, but won't tell you. Because on some of the most popular

0:45.5

dating apps in the world, reported rapists are still swipe and right. And that is according to an

18-month investigation produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center's AI Accountability Network and the markup and co-published with The Guardian and the 19. Right, and with

0:58.3

all that, the focus of this investigation is a company by the name of Match Group. And the thing is,

1:02.7

if you haven't heard of Match Group specifically, you've almost definitely heard of at least one

1:05.9

of the more than a dozen dating apps owned by the company. We're talking Tinder, the world's most popular dating app as well, is Hinge and OkCupid. And all in all, this multi-billion dollar company operates in

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

1:30.6

can really help you find a soulmate. I mean, there's even a class action lawsuit alleging that the

1:34.0

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

1:37.9

use of addictive game-like features to keep users hooked. But in any case, whether or not they make it easier to find a partner, according to this investigation, they definitely make it easier for predators and creeps to
