Tinder has announced that it’s fighting back against bot accounts.
Tinder is launching a crackdown against AI-powered bots.
The popular dating app has announced that it’s working with World ID to fight back against bot accounts on its platform.
World said in a blog post: “You match with someone on a dating app and want to know if the connection is real. You read a comment thread and suspect half the accounts are bots. You try to buy concert tickets and lose to automated scalpers before the page finishes loading. You climb a gaming leaderboard only to discover you were competing against a bot.
“These are not edge cases. They are the everyday internet, and they share a common thread: the platforms people rely on for connection, competition, and culture are constantly evolving new ways to confirm that the person on the other end is, in fact, a person.
“World is bringing proof of human into the platforms where people spend their time. From dating to live events to gaming, World ID is becoming the trust layer underpinning the experiences that matter most.”
Following a successful pilot, Tinder and World are now rolling out the plan more broadly.
Yoel Roth, the senior vice president of trust and safety at Match Group, said in a statement: “At Tinder, helping our community feel safe and confident in every connection has always been at the heart of what we do … Partnering with World ID is a natural next step in that commitment, giving our users a powerful, privacy-preserving way to help know the person on the other end is real.”
