Russia is swiping left on privacy.
The Russian government is now ordering Tinder to hand over user data to intelligence agencies.
The app, known for allowing users to quickly scan dozens of potential dates in the area based on photographs, is included on a new list of web services that must provide information about its users upon request to Russian intelligence entities, like the FSB security agency.
Russia has approved a bevy of new legislation over the past few years that aims to tighten government control over the internet and online activity. Tinder has already shared company information with the country’s communications regulator and is expected to cooperate with the new demands.
Last year, Russia banned the messaging app Telegram because it refused requests from authorities to hand over the user data of Russians.
