Posted on April 8, 2022

Filter off zach schleienFINACIAL EXPRESS – From a safety as well as efficiency perspective, the acceptance of video dating has accelerated. Today, research suggests that most singles prefer to video chat before meeting up in person. Filteroff is a video-based speed dating app launched during the pandemic. "Prior to the pandemic, it was primarily a swipe-based market. During the pandemic, the value of quality dating increased. Therefore, a lot of swipe-based apps incorporated video into their functioning. However, the whole process of swipe, match, message is still considered long. With Filteroff, we make videos the forefront of user experience," said Zach Schleien, founder of Filteroff.

Irish Department of Justice Spent €30k on Tinder Ads

Posted on April 4, 2022

Tinder pic1IRISH EXAMINER – The department made use of Tinder as part of its No Excuses national awareness campaign on sexual harassment and sexual violence. The campaign was rolled out in tandem with the enacting of Coco's Law in February 2021, which created two new offences that criminalise the non-consensual distribution of intimate images. The department also ran advertisement campaigns across Facebook, Snapchat, Spotify, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube last year. Under Coco's Law, a person found guilty of the distribution or publication of intimate images without consent and with intent to cause harm can face seven years' imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. Anyone convicted of the distribution or publication of intimate images without consent now faces a €5K fine and/or 12 months imprisonment.
