Facebook's New Data-Sharing Policies Are Crashing Tinder

Today, Facebook made a series of changes to the kinds of data third-party apps can collect from the social network. The adjustments are designed to limit the information apps can gather from users following the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which Facebook now says affected 87 million users, up from the "approximately" 270,000 initially reported to have downloaded the app by the social media giant in March. The new policies appear to be affecting the performance of the dating app Tinder. Users on Twitter, as well as several people in WIRED's offices, have reported issues logging into the app, instead finding themselves in a never-ending loop between Facebook and Tinder: If you try to log into Tinder with your Facebook account, the app asks you to provide Facebook more permissions. But if you tap "ask me," the only option available, the app requests again that you log into Facebook.
