If dating apps weren't terrible enough, #Tinder says now they're going to use your photo roll to train their #AI. So, that's fun!

It's almost like venture capitalists don't have anyone around who will say "Gee Kevin, that sure seems like a bad idea. People will feel like it's intrusive and unethical."

Users can’t pick individual photos they want analyzed or ignored, so it's gonna slurp up any pictures you've taken of documents, IDs, insurance cards, as well as anything Palantir might consider "illegal" or improper. (Tinder says they're not storing the data or sharing it with the panopticon. We all know that's bullshit, but the mention of #Palantir is a snide editorial remark, not a factual statement.)

This is a security nightmare waiting to unfold. (That's a factual statement.)

Tinder Plans to Let AI Scan Your Camera Roll

In a feature the dating app says is set to roll out in the U.S. later this spring, Tinder plans to access users' camera rolls to pick photos and determine what they're into.

Well, where else are they going to get twenty million photos of men holding fishes?

@MissConstrue

Humbble and Alovoa are two open-source dating apps that serve as alternatives to Tinder, focusing on user privacy and community-driven features without hidden fees.

@MissConstrue "Big Brother is watching your."

@MissConstrue People are just dumb enough to let an AI do it.

But for all me know, something we already have on our phones might already be doing it.

@MissConstrue This is nuts to think members will agree to this invasion of privacy.
@MissConstrue Tinder already has access to all the pictures someone takes on their phone?
