Reply to comment by elefantsblue in Call for dating apps to require criminal checks as Australian government plans summit on safety by ihavestrings

They run criminal record checks for people applying to work with children. This isn’t really any different. Meet some completely stranger, often for drinks, on an app is extremely risky. Most of the time it’s fine but you are extremely vulnerable of the person you are meeting has bad intentions. If they can filter out people known to have previously had bad intentions that isn’t a bad thing.

Except the courts aren’t just and their intentions aren’t pure. It’s just another way to further insert themselves and their self righteous bullshit into the lives of individuals.

Is that a fact or your opinion? Also, in what country?

How is it any different if you meet some stranger at a bar, a grocery store, or anywhere else? You can have your first date in a very public space, but if they woo you enough, you will eventually be alone with them.

It’s isn’t. They might be lying to you but in the very least you have seen their face. Difference with online is that there’s an opportunity to screen convicted fraudsters, murders, violent offenders, stalkers and rapists. It won’t catch potential criminals for sure. But it’s something.

Meet them in a very public place for your first date then.

Lmfao WHAAAAAAT? Did you just really compare getting a background check to work with vulnerable populations to using Tinder?

I mean, there ARE alot of people with mental ilness trying to date these days... Maybe you are right. Maybe we should make a MentalCaseTinder app, specifically for vulnerable population people.

Would certainly make my life easier not to have to deal with them.
