Jackie Cruz emphasizes that the responsibility for safety in online dating should be a shared effort between users and platforms. However, she points out that much of the burden currently falls upon women. She argues that as online dating becomes more prevalent, platforms must implement stricter safety measures to protect users from potential threats. Women should not have to navigate these spaces with fear, highlighting the pressing need for change in how dating apps address user safety.
In an era where online dating is a familiar norm, Jackie Cruz warns of the rising incidents of sexual violence associated with dating apps. She illustrates that despite the convenience and opportunities these platforms offer, they also contribute to a landscape where women are increasingly vulnerable to abuse. Cruz's research underlines that without significant intervention and reform, the safety of women using these applications will continue to be compromised, raising serious ethical questions for dating app developers.
