Tinder has launched a new feature called 'Face Check' in California, mandating new users to perform facial recognition checks through video selfies during sign-up. This initiative is designed to combat impersonation, ensuring users are genuine and not interacting with bots. The technology compares the selfie against profile photos and checks for duplicate accounts. Successful users receive a verification badge, while Tinder retains an encrypted face map to help detect future duplicates. This feature has already been implemented in other countries like Colombia and Canada, enhancing user safety and authenticity.
