Tinder is for romantic love, not political. TPM reports Tinder has banned two young women using the service to court voters in early primary states. Imagine the disappointment when you find out that 22 year old woman you liked is actually a 74 year old man!
Via TPM:
Tinder locked the two womens’ accounts after getting several complaints with men who received messages urging them to support Sanders.
“Do you feel the bern?” Robyn Gedrich wrote in Tinder messages, according to Buzzfeed News. “Please text WORK to 82623 for me. Thanks.”Gedrich, a 23-year-old New Jersey resident, sent messages to 60 people per day, according to Reuters. If people sent a text message to the number she provided, they start receiving updates from the Sanders campaign and a link where they would sign up to volunteer.
“Some people would ask what is this for, and I would kind of explain,” she told Reuters. “Some of them would unmatch me or report me as a bot.”
