Australia will bring in a new code of conduct for the online dating industry to better protect users.
What is sex and sexual activity?
BumbleGrindr and Match Group Inc. Complaint and reporting mechanisms are to be made prominent and transparent. A new rating system will show users how well platforms are meeting their obligations under the code.
The government called for a code dating conduct last year after the Australian Institute of Criminology research found that three-in-four users of dating apps or websites had experienced some form of sexual violence through these platforms in the five years through The rules platforms that signed up to the code did not immediately respond to request for comment on Tuesday.
All helped design the code. The government expects the code will enable Australians to make australian informed rules about which dating apps are best equipped to provide a safe dating experience. The government has also warned the online dating industry that it will legislate if the operators fail to keep Australians safe on their platforms.
