Chief Scientist At eHarmony Cavorts With The… Facebook

OPW – Jan 5 – Steve Carter is one of two super long-termer executives remaining at eHarmony. (Grant Langston, the CEO, is the other one). Dr Carter is the man (leading the team) behind the algorithm, and has worked at eHarmony since 1999, before it was launched. Starting out as a research analyst he's risen through the ranks to become VP of Matching in 2012 and the Chief Scientist in 2016, and now…he's also working as Data Science Manager at Facebook "Helping Facebook get even better at making meaningful and beneficial connections between people."

In the past, Facebook has declared themselves not a dating site, and even gone to the extent of shunning and banning the dating industry from advertising for a while, perhaps to help clarify it's distinction from dating. So what's going on underneath the hood. What could Steve be working on. Cause for concern, or celebration? Your comments please.
