Doesn't one company own almost all the dating apps in the US? That seems... potentially problematic.

Interesting article on the founders: https://jewishjournal.com/mobile_20111212/132669/
Boring short article that names three Tinder founders and adds no other founder details other than two claim to attend their parents’ Shabbat dinner tables every Friday.

The 'rest' describes using Tinder.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. But you're totally right. We hum and haw about Tik Tok - but we don't generally give them any information other than our scrolling (behavioural data). Dating apps have a ton more detailed information on individuals (dating preferences, age, specific geographic locations). But I suppose IAC (Barry Diller) and MTCH are US-owned.
