Dating Giant Match Pushes Woke DEI Agenda Instead of Protecting Women from Predators
Match Group, owner of major dating apps like Tinder and Hinge, has been accused of attempting to influence elections by mobilizing young leftist voters for Kamala Harris while neglecting user safety from sexual predators.

Despite reports of serious offenses on its platforms, Match Group has focused on promoting social justice issues rather than addressing user safety. Internal documents reveal a history of ignoring sexual violence incidents while prioritizing the policing of "hate speech." This approach contrasts with other tech companies that are scaling back on DEI initiatives under the Trump administration.
