THE CONVERSATION – Feb 20 – Dating apps have become so commonplace they're even finding their way into the courtroom with profiles and messages used as evidence of people's identity, behaviour or intentions. Yet people are rarely completely honest and upfront when it comes to dating, especially with the added anonymity of the internet. We risk serious miscarriages of justice. Before criminal trials start to rely on the newer features of dating apps, such as sexual health history and HIV status categories, we need to come up with a way to ensure judges and juries understand how nuanced this evidence might be. Judges and jurors need to remember that you shouldn't believe everything you read online.
