Tinder, owned by Match Group, has faced criticism for its handling of romance scams on its platform. A recent report revealed that scammer profiles were shown eight times more frequently in late 2025 compared to mid-2024, despite internal warnings about outdated AI models. The company has since implemented new measures, but lawmakers are pushing for further action. This issue is part of a larger global problem, with digital fraud costing more than international drug trafficking.
