Did you even read the article?

"That needs to be stopped. We need to completely ban people with violent criminal histories or alleged histories, with any sort of civil intervention order in place, from these apps.”

It's not like they're worried about your marijuana charge or the time you got way too drunk and spent the night in a cell.

The purpose is to protect people from predators not penalize small time offenders.

Of course I didn’t read it. I stopped that in 2016. And imagine my surprise: the headline was misleading

How is "require criminal checks" misleading? That's exactly what is proposed. It doesn't say "ban anyone with a criminal record".

Or "alleged histories"? So if you were accused of something and found not guilty they'll still ban you?
