THE OUTLINE – Sep 11 – HBO aired the documentary “Swiped,” written and directed by Nancy Jo Sales who published an article about the phenomenon of app-based dating with Vanity Fair in 2015. The film is largely a rehash of her article, illustrating that everyone hates Tinder. Toward the end of the film, it raises the question of the actual physical danger these apps present, pointing to cases where women who have been assaulted or murdered. On this subject, producers turned to Mandy Ginsberg, the first female CEO of IAC’s Match Group as of 2018. “There’s a number of safety tips that we provide for people, and I just think that people have to just take real precaution,” she said. Here are Tinder’s guidelines to women for not getting raped:
- Never go to someone’s house
- Meet in a public place
- Don’t drink
- Let someone know where you’re going
- Never go into someone’s car
