PROTECT YOUTH
I can’t believe I got flagged for having ‘no old’ in my bio. Maybe if your app protected users from everyone and anyone making sexual advances on them, you wouldn’t need to do such a thing. But to go a step further and to have ‘age inclusive’ language your standard is absolutely ridiculous. I know this isn’t the first suggestion regarding this matter. Young, curious men are discovering their sexuality on Grindr and SHOULD be discoverable by their filters they choose. This experience ruined my coming out experience at 19 and the fact that nothing has changed 5 years later, BESIDES giving more power to old men; the impression they can message people sometimes 3 times younger than them, is a dangerous ideology to have. You need to take pointers from Tinder. This is a far more dangerous and vulnerable app. Is this app run by old men that are into 18 year olds? Is your defence that it’s legal? I don’t necessarily want to get a hello from an old man, let alone a photo of their brown eye. You clearly have the power to change this. If you care so much about community standards, then bring ethics into that conversation.
