Bumble and Tinder: Is their fake news on dating sites?
When we think of fake news, our minds immediately move towards Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and Facebook, but could Tinder and Bumble deliver fake news? In other words, is dating a "catfish" fake news? When googling the statistics of dating sites, it states that "53% of Americans fabricate parts of their dating profile", to me, this is considered fake news because people are becoming attached to people who do not even exist. This is the most dangerous kind of fake news. Although many people never actually end up taking the app to the next step by setting up a date, it could become dangerous at that point. The person on social media could be using fake pictures, false information regarding their past, and even a false name. This could lead to dangerous situations, even kidnappings if people are not careful of their surroundings.
