Tinder, a dating app, has recently updated its Terms of Service. Among minor bureaucratic modifications, one major change aims to battle impersonations. From now on, Tinder will ban web developers who claim to be 'engineers'. While backend- and other types of software developers seem to be unaffected, many believe the ToS will be amended soon to include those as well.

    Dude, I get the bloody joke!

    I’m very specifically asking how they are impersonating it on Tinder. Is it a picture? Is there a field in Tinder you can fill out with your job title? Do they write it in the description?

    And I’m asking how Tinder is verifying that.

      Yes

      They’re not. It’s fake

        Oh, I see now. It’s a satire article! Given I don’t use Tinder and have seen exclusive dating apps, it really wasn’t far-fetched.

        Thanks for clearing that up.

      Tinder isn’t verifying it. It’s just a joke.
