‘I was abused after meeting man on dating app’

The Online Dating and Discovery Association is the official trade body representing some of the most well-known dating apps on the market.

Simon Newman, chief executive, said online in general there are “lots and lots of examples of behaviour that we would consider inappropriate” and dating is “no exception to that”.

“There are some things that apps will already do, so sharing information between themselves in terms of offenders and others that have proven to display harmful behaviour,” he said.

“We’ve also been speaking to government about extending Clare’s Law, giving people the right to ask and the right to know about someone’s potential risk to them. We think that should be extended to users on dating apps.

“We’ve (also) been asking for things like imposing pre and post bail charge conditions. So that means that if you are arrested or charged with an offence of violence, of stalking, even fraud, for example, then there should be a condition placed on your license that effectively prohibits you from accessing dating apps.”
