There are always safety risks associated with dating apps, but now state lawmakers are claiming to give singles peace of mind that all will be well once nanny government puts some new rules in place.
Colorado is ranked number five in most dangerous states for online dating, reports Colorado Politics.
Wading into (the) issue, Senate Bill 011 requires online dating services to create and publish safety policies, including information on whether and when they conduct background checks on users, if convicted criminals are allowed to use the service, the service’s definition of misconduct, and what actions are taken when it receives reports of a user’s misconduct.
We don’t have much confidence in the bill, especially the disclosure on whether background checks are used and any protections against convicted criminals using the dating service.
As PeakNation most certainly recalls, the state House just passed a bill recently allowing felons to change their names if they are declaring a gender preference change.
So, if one bill says felons can change their names, then what good are background checks to know whether convicted criminals are using the system?
Maybe the Democrats sponsoring the measures should include language that singles looking for love should be aware that background checks won’t ding on felons who have changed genders?
It’s hard to take Democrats seriously when it comes to public safety.
This is even more troubling knowing the general public would just assume dating apps are more safer if a law making such claims is ever signed by Gov. Polis.
