This text exposes the alarming truth about online dating platforms, arguing that the greatest dangers come not from fake profiles, but from real users who are sexual predators, stalkers, and violent offenders. It critiques the industry's willful refusal to implement basic safety protocols like background checks, attributing this failure to a prioritization of user growth metrics and legal liability over user safety. The author asserts that this design has led to a connection collapse, fostering a culture of addiction, inauthenticity, and making users vulnerable to severe real-world harm, including stalking, harassment, rape, and murder, all while shifting blame onto the users.
