Intimate partner violence affects broad swathes of society — and the world of online dating is no exception. To address this problem, Tinder recently announced that their parent company, Match Group, is making a “significant contribution” to the non-profit background check platform Garbo. As a part of that contribution, Match will be integrating Garbo’s services directly into the Tinder platform. Users will be able to choose whether they want to pay a (presently undisclosed) fee directly to Garbo in order to run a check on a potential date.
