Match has known for years about ‘abusive’ users, The Markup reports

Match Group (MTCH), which runs more than a dozen dating apps, has known for years about abusive and violent users, but chooses to leave millions of people in the dark, The Markup’s Emily Elena Dugdale and Hanisha Harjani report. Since 2019, Match Group’s central database has recorded every user reported for rape and assault across its entire suite of apps, and by 2022, the system, known as Sentinel, was collecting hundreds of troubling incidents every week, company insiders say.
