U.S. Lawmakers Flag Outdated AI Protections on Dating Apps

A U.S. congressional report revealed that Tinder and Hinge users matched with 1.5 million scammers in 2025 due to outdated AI detection algorithms.

Internal documents suggest Match Group previously relied on ineffective moderation, often prioritizing scammer profiles despite awareness of the security lapses.

Although the company has since introduced new AI models to catch bad actors, officials emphasize that dating apps still face significant challenges in user protection.
