"The update is focused on making Hinge's guidelines clearer and giving well-meaning users the opportunity to adjust their profiles while still keeping the platform safe, the company said. "By giving daters the opportunity to update their content while remaining in good standing on Hinge, we're delivering on our commitment to greater transparency and helping well-intentioned users better understand our policies, so they can stay focused on what matters most: making meaningful connections," Jeff Dunn, chief risk officer at Hinge, stated to TechCrunch."
"Instead of banning your entire account, Hinge will now flag and remove that specific issue, allowing you to address it first. Your profile will remain live but hidden from the discovery feed until you make the changes. Content that is offensive, pornographic, violent, or discriminatory. Promotes illegal activities or causes harm to individuals. Attempts to sell services or promote businesses. Displays images or likenesses of others without their consent, or those of minors without the consent of a parent or guardian. (And other similar reasons.)"
Hinge will flag and remove specific profile items that violate rules instead of banning entire accounts for a single violation. Flagged content is removed and the user's profile remains live but hidden from the discovery feed until changes are made. Hinge will notify users by email, push notification, and in-app prompts explaining why content was flagged and how to update it. Types of flagged material include offensive, pornographic, violent, discriminatory content; promotion of illegal activities; commercial solicitations; and unconsented images, including minors. Repeat offenders will still face account bans. The change clarifies guidelines and gives well-intentioned users a chance to comply.
