Aside form the ethical considerations of long term storage, what is tinder doing with all this data if they can't even keep the bots off the service?

I think worst case (best case?) scenario is that they will 'copy' the data they're not supposed to keep off to another country, maybe anonymize it but otherwise the data will still be there. Its too important - even in anonymized form. Its capable of helping sociologists, medical researchers, advertisers, etc... They don't need to know that "James. T. McLovin' of 123 Happy Lane, went on 15 dates and slept with 3 wome…
> and slept with 3 women At first I thought "how would they know that" but it's simple: establish "home" for each of a match pair and identify that both parties' devices are at one or the other "home" during certain hours after matching. In that sense, it's more than just data, it's inference, and that's almost worse as a private company's data could end up libeling you if it leaks!

Reading one of the only papers in his self-published "journal" that isn't concerned with showing that immigrants have lower IQs or more criminality than native white populations probably isn't the best way to establish whether he's a white supremacist or not, though it might be evidence for the claim that he's more contrarian crank than obsessive nationalist.
One can of course draw rather more obvious negative inferences about the quality of his research from everything from the paper's laughable description of the sampling methodology to its entire premise that correlation between responses semi-arbitrarily assumed to represent intelligence demonstrates validity of that set of responses as a measure of cognitive ability.

> Immigrants have lower IQs or more criminality.
Assuming a reasonable portion of these are refugees(or from third world countries), wouldn’t that be a fair link to make? Malnutrition has a clearly established link to lower IQs, hence migrants having a lowe IQ(iirc, Nordic countries have the Flynn effect strongest, so this link might hold true even for immigrants from developed nations).

#56It just dawned on me that Tinder is basically the new and improved version of Zuckerberg's original creation - Facesmash. Except Tinder can do so much more than that. And amusingly, Tinder is hailed as a great app while Facesmash was decried as a way of dehumanizing and objectifying people. My, how far we have come.

#57I can't believe Eben Moglen's FreedomBox isn't a bigger project. It would help solve a lot of these problems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreedomBox https://freedomboxfoundation.org
While I love that project I don't see how a tinder-like dating app would work on it.

I'm loath to go down this rabbit hole, but wouldn't you also assume that migrants are the most tenacious and smartest, since they managed to survive huge changes, go somewhere new, and try to build something? It seems like migrants are self selecting for smarter people, although IQ tests are notoriously slanted by cultural expectations an societal norms and seem to be a poor method of measuring this.

You are a beautiful example of why acadamia is producing sniveling retards today. You take to destroying a man's work because his findings offend you. You then mask that in discombobulated use of muli-syllable semi sophisticated word choice.
Acadamia today, with brave exception, a massive circlejerk of coolaid drinking sudo intellectuals. They may have brain power however their common sense has been nuetered to leave them not understanding how to distinguish good from evil or up from down.
