Online dating
company, Tinder has announced that users under 18 will not be able to access
its app starting from next week.
On a
platform that has facilitated over 11 billion connections; we have the
responsibility of constantly assessing our different user experiences. Consistent
with this responsibility, we have decided to discontinue service for under 18
users, we believe this is the best policy moving forward, Tinder said in a
press release.
We have
been reviewing this policy since early this year and believe it is the right
thing to do. A number of factors go into
making a decision like this, but we’re confident we landed on the right policy,
said Rosette Pambakian, Tinder’s Vice President of Communications.
The development comes after
the company earlier promised a new transgender-friendly user experience. Until
now, users between 13 and 18 have been in their own Tinder world, not showing
up on the app for any swipers over the age of 18.
