There are different social networks and applications that will request that users be verified, including Tinder.
It is becoming more and more common to meet a person who has been met through social networks. These platforms want to provide the highest possible security to users, and also have the maximum possible data, that is why a period is approaching in which some will request that identities be verified.
It should be noted that at the moment These plans want to start voluntarily in the case of Tinder, it will not be forced to the users to verify that they really are, but they will be offered this option that will expand internationally, although it has been available in a country for a long time.
As reported in Engadget, this identity verification function is done in Japan, but will be updated to other countries soon, possibly in “the next quarters“.
Tinder has launched a statement in which they report that they want to be the first dating app to have users verified, although they know that this is a complicated step in which the situation of each country must be taken into account.
For this reason, they clarify that this identity verification “I would start as a volunteer” and the company’s teams will have to check “which documents are the most appropriate in each country“We understand that on a practical and legal level.
Voluntariness is understood due to the circumstances of each one of the users and their personal situation, that is why they point out that some people “they may have compelling reasons why they are unable or unwilling to share their real world identity with an online platform“.
If this verification proceeds, it is likely that there are those who feel more secure dating people whose real identity they know. Consequently, it is understood that This voluntariness will push many people to identify themselves to be more successful in dating.
Excluding the case of Japan, it is not yet known how it will work in the rest of the countries, but being a global plan it will also affect Spain. We will wait for the details to fully judge the situation.
