Tinder Bans Users Under 18

Tech-savvy teens will have to find a new way to make personal connections: Tinder is reportedly barring users under the age of 18.

Since its launch in 2012, the social network has allowed everyone 13 years and older, matching teenagers with others in the same age range. But starting next week, a new policy aims to block underage swipers,according to TechCrunch.

“On a platform that has facilitated over 11 billion connections, we have the responsibility of constantly assessing our different user experiences,” Tinder told the news blog. “Consistent with this responsibility, we have decided to discontinue service for under-18 users. We believe this is the best policy moving forward.”

The change goes into effect next week, and impacts less than 3 percent of the global user base.

A Tinder spokeswoman declined to comment further, pointing PCMag to the statement published by TechCrunch.

This move comes after company CEO Sean Rad promised a transgender-friendly user experience, though details about the new filters remain scant.

Tinder has made a number of changes lately, starting with theintroduction of “Super Like,” a new way to let someone know they stand out from the crowd. It also added the option to include job and education info in user profiles, and tested the ability for folks to share profiles with friends.
