#5If this makes women less scared and closed-off towards random strangers i think it’s a good thing.
It’s kind of a real issue that most women are really shy and uncomfortable around randos and hide their identities online, rightfully so because of men who are just awful towards random women they see and end up stalking and harassing them. It would be really nice if there was a way to just filter out creepy and rude people.
But I have a feeling this particular service won’t actually flag work and will end up being useless. And flagging people for no discernible reason or worse, flagging some ethnicities or unrelated characteristics more than others will open Tinder up to lawsuits.

On paper, it's a good thing, but with the current economics of online dating, it might make background checks a requirement for men to stay in the game.
I have no skin in the game, but I'd hate to be a guy who has to decide whether dating is worth a background check.
