Tinder’s Eye Scan: A Dystopian Move for Biometric Data
To combat the proliferation of AI-generated profiles, Tinder is implementing a new identity verification system in partnership with World. This system utilizes iris scans to confirm users are human, with verified individuals receiving a “proof of humanity” badge on their profiles. The initiative aims to increase user confidence in the authenticity of online connections and follows successful testing in Japan. As part of the rollout, Tinder users will be offered five free profile “boosts” upon completing the verification process.
