YAHOO LIFE – Dating apps are under scrutiny as calls for mandatory profile verification grow louder. This demand comes in response to concerns about issues like catfishing and sextortion that can negatively impact user experience and the reputation of dating platforms. According to studies by The Cyber Helpline, 49% of Gen Z have been victims of sextortion catfishing crimes, with 90% having to make changes to their everyday life because of this, and 74% feeling it has impacted their physical safety. Mandatory profile verification can enhance user trust and reduce the risk of users encountering misleading or fake profiles.
