Privacy scholar: dating apps trade love for data, and culture is the real driver
CarissaVeliz · x · 2026-09-14
In a new interview, privacy scholar Carissa Véliz argues dating apps expose something bigger than personal data: surrendering privacy makes us manipulable by whoever controls it. She contends culture, not technology, drives the trend, and that moving relationships online erodes the privacy, trust and human connection of face-to-face contact. Her prescription: choose the analog world again — privacy is power, and protecting it is ultimately a democratic matter.
