Australia adopts code of conduct for dating apps to keep Tinder, Bumble, Grindr users safer

Bumble, Grindr and Match Group Inc., a Texas-based company that owns platforms including Tinder, Hinge, OKCupid and Plenty of Fish, have agreed to the code that took effect on Tuesday, Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said.

The platforms, which account for 75 per cent of the industry in Australia, have until April 1 to implement the changes before they are strictly enforced, Rowland said.
