In Campaign mode, you will face ungodly creatures in three temples. “We will continue to work with regulators and our partners, such as the Women’s Services Network, the Queensland Police Service, and Chanel Contos to combat gender-based violence and strengthen safety on our platforms.Slay monsters to escape from the Temple of Boom! This explosive platform game challenges you to survives waves of deadly attacks. “Match Group is a leader in developing new and effective safety tools because our investments and approach are informed by safety experts and real world experiences – perspectives we need across industries to constructively address the pervasiveness of gender-based violence. “This is an important conversation that should not be limited to a single industry, but extend to address these systemic issues that occur everywhere, from public streets to workplaces and to social media platforms – ensuring a holistic approach to cracking down on abusers and bad actors,” a Match Group spokesperson said. Match Group – which owns and operates a number of dating apps including Hinge and Tinder – said safety guides “everything” they do”. “ … If we are going to end violence against women and children in one generation, then we need to address this on online dating apps.” But it’s also time for the industry to look at the unique position it is in. “It’s time for the industry to lift standards. “And it is very clear that a significant number of particularly women are experiencing online harassment and abuse facilitated by dating apps. “What we know from the engagement through our round table, but also engagement through the work done by victim-survivors is that there is a lot of opportunity that these dating apps provide to make connections, but there are of course the risks that come with it that facilitate technological abuse,” she said. Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said dating app violence, as a form of gender-based violence, “has to end”. Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth said dating apps had a role to play in eliminating violence against women. “The industry has been responsive to our calls for improvements – but we want to build on that momentum as well,” she said.

She said by giving the platforms until next year to put the code in place, the industry had time to “lift standards”. “But have no doubt, if this does not deliver improved safety for Australian users, we will have no hesitation in taking this further.” “By having this in place, and by having reporting after nine months of operation, we will be able to see whether there have been those improvements.
It will be overseen by the eSafety Commissioner, who will have input into this design. So by having a voluntary code upfront, this is not a set-and-forget. “What we want to do in this sector is not stifle innovation, but balance our hands. “What we need to do is balance innovation that is occurring in this area with the need to have some impact on the harms that are occurring,” she said. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Gary RamageĪsked why the code would be voluntary, not mandatory, Ms Rowland said there was a balancing act that needed to occur. Research from the Australian Institute of Criminology found three in four people using online dating platforms had experienced some form of sexual violence facilitated by the platforms, including sexual harassment, abusive or threatening language, image-based sexual abuse, and stalking.Ĭommunications Minister Michelle Rowland said she had ‘decided’ to give the industry a chance to write its own regulations first. The government has defended making the code “voluntary”, saying there was a “balancing act” between supporting innovation and making the apps safer.
If the apps fail to create the code of conduct by mid-2024, or the code is not strong enough, the government will introduce new legislation that covers the same key areas. The voluntary code would need to include commitments to improving engagement with law enforcement, supporting at-risk users, improving safety policies and practices, and greater transparency about harms. The Albanese government has told the apps they must work together to create a voluntary industry code of practice to ensure the platforms are strong enough to deter predators and criminals. Popular dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge have been put “on notice” and ordered to make their platforms safer – or risk the government forcing their hand.
