Dating Apps – New initiative to stamp out abusive behaviour!

With nearly half (49%) of Australians aged between 18-49 using at least one online dating app or website, dating apps have become the most common way to meet a partner in Australia.

It’s not always as pleasant an experience with users often being subjected to bad behaviour including abuse.

Under a recent Government crackdown, popular dating apps like Grindr and Tinder have adopted a new industry code.

Guest: Dr Dimitrios Salampasis is Swinburne University’s Emerging Technologies Expert

Presenter: Warren Andrew
