  "summary": "Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan conducted an investigation into romance scams on Match Group apps, including Tinder and Hinge, and found that Tinder had not updated most of its AI models used to detect scammers and bad actors for years. The investigation revealed that the number of views received by the median scammer's profile on Tinder globally increased by more than 700 percent between May 2024 and December 2025. In response to the findings, Tinder announced the U.S. rollout of its user verification process, Face Check, which became mandatory for all new U.S. users in early December. This process reduced user interactions with spam, bots, and scammers on Tinder in the U.S. by more than 70 percent within a month of nationwide deployment.",
