Summary

Require all dating apps operating in the UK to verify users using government-issued photo ID and implement measures to prevent individuals convicted of serious sexual, domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control offences from creating or maintaining accounts. Millions of people use dating apps to form relationships, yet users can often create accounts with little meaningful verification. We believe mandatory photo ID checks would improve accountability and reduce fake profiles. We also believe dating platforms should be required to take reasonable steps to prevent individuals convicted of serious sexual, domestic abuse, stalking and coercive control offences from accessing these services and potentially targeting new victims.
