Tinder to launch new feature to reduce the number of hateful messages sent on the dating app

Tinder is looking to make its popular dating app even safer, rolling out a new feature designed to stop harassment before it starts. Known as'Are You Sure? (AYS),' the feature uses artificial intelligence to detect what it deems'harmful language,' giving users a prompt prior to sending a message that could be considered harmful. The AYS notification has supposedly reduced'inappropriate language' in messages by 10 percent in early testing. Additionally, the company said that members who saw the AYS? prompt were'less likely' to be reported for inappropriate messages over the next month. According to a source familiar with the situation, hate speech, overly sexual content and'all language that goes against community guidelines' are flagged by the AI.
