Tinder has changed the way people date today. After platforms like Badoo took leaps and bounds to meet people, Tinder has risen as a benchmark today. The platform has advanced so much in recent years that it even allows you to choose between different sexes freely, and without any type of restriction. However, not all countries where Tinder operates are completely free.
Specifically, we are talking about all those countries that condemn relationships between people of the same sex.Currently Tinder works in many countries and in some of them homosexual relationships are punishable by law (legally in these respective countries) and can even be considered serious enough to lead to the death pen alty. Tinder knows this, and in a big step to try to protect the LGTBI+ community, it has adopted very effective measures in this regard. If you want some information, you should know that up to 71 current states penalize relationships between people of the same sex and 13 of them come to penalize this act with the death pen alty.
How does Tinder protect you if you are LGTBI+?
Most people who live in countries where relationships between people of the same sex are punishable by law, know this. However, a foreigner traveling to such a country might not be aware of the country's laws. In this way, it is common for a traveler to activate their Tinder profile in a country other than their own and try to find a way to meet people looking for friendship, a relationship or a summer love (the end is completely irrelevant).When someone travels to a country, they must face the rules of that country and that's where Tinder wants to get their hands on.
If a person activates the filter to search for people of the same sex (or any other type of action that is not allowed by the law of that country) the platform will launch a warning that will try to protect you and warn you of the dangers of using certain options or filters in certain parts of the world. We know that in the West the rights of the LGTBI+ collective are increasingly advanced but we cannot close our eyes and understand that in some cultures they are still in the Stone Age in this sense.
How does this protection work?
Tinder will launch a notice, above all, to all those travelers who are in a country where homosexual relations are not legal. What's more, it will also alert you even if, if you are not penalized, it is dangerous for your profile to remain with certain words in its description.Tinder wants no danger and actively works to stop all kinds of risks.
If you are LGTBI+ Tinder will not automatically show this community when you open your profile in these areas. And it will even show a notice like the one we show you in the image above the article where they will explain the dangers that your profile entails in these places. Tinder ensures that keeping its users safe is its number 1 priority. If the user, understanding the risks, chooses to stay on Tinder, her sexual orientation will not be displayed until she leaves that area. The alert will appear automatically at groundfall in these countries and is great news for the entire community.
We love that Tinder has taken action on the matter and launched an option to protect people who, far from violating the law , they would like to exercise a right that should be universal in any part of the planet.They tell us more details about this function on their blog.
