#matchgroup — Public Fediverse posts

Gefühlt täglich schreibt der #Tagesspiegel über #DatingApps. #Clickbait. Funktioniert auch bei mir.

Hier vergleicht #TobiasLangleyHunt 16 dieser Apps und wie immer taucht nicht einmal das Wort #Datenschutz auf. Auch kein Wort davon, daß allein 5 der Apps zum #MatchGroup-Konzern gehören und nur 5 #EU-Firmen sind. Kein Wort zum #Datenhandel. #DSGVO my ass. Und da sollen wir unsere echten Namen, Bilder und sexuellen Vorlieben einstellen? No way.

Tinder quiere que su IA elija tus mejores fotos: Analizará tu carrete para optimizar tu perfil

Se acabó el dilema de no saber qué foto te hace ver mejor. Match Group, la compañía matriz de Tinder, ha confirmado que está implementando una nueva herramienta de inteligencia artificial capaz de analizar la galería de fotos de tu smartphone. El objetivo: seleccionar automáticamente las cinco imágenes con mayor «potencial de éxito» para que consigas más matches sin tener que revisar años de recuerdos digitales (Fuente 404 media).

¿Cómo funciona el «Selector de Fotos» con IA?

En lugar de subir fotos una a una, el usuario otorga un permiso temporal a Tinder para acceder a su carrete:

• Criterios de Selección: La IA evalúa la iluminación, el enfoque, la composición y, según Tinder, «la autenticidad y personalidad» que transmite cada imagen.
• Privacidad del Carrete: La compañía asegura que el análisis se realiza de forma local en el dispositivo o mediante un procesamiento cifrado que no almacena el resto de tus fotos privadas en sus servidores.
• Decisión Final: Aunque la IA sugiere las mejores opciones, el usuario siempre tiene la última palabra para aprobar o descartar la selección antes de que se haga pública en el perfil.

El debate: ¿Eficiencia o pérdida de privacidad?

A pesar de la promesa de «ahorrar tiempo», la medida genera interrogantes en un marzo de 2026 muy movido:

1. Soberanía de Datos: Con la reciente retirada del cifrado en los mensajes de Instagram por parte de Meta, los usuarios están más alerta que nunca sobre quién accede a su contenido multimedia.
2. Seguridad Móvil: El hecho de dar acceso al carrete a una app de citas coincide con las alertas del FBI sobre códigos QR maliciosos y estafas que utilizan ingeniería social y fotos personales.
3. Competencia con IA: Este movimiento de Tinder se suma a la tendencia de «IA en todo», como el nuevo navegador Comet de Perplexity o la integración de Samsung con OpenAI para potenciar los futuros modelos de ChatGPT.

¿Cuándo estará disponible?

La función se está desplegando inicialmente en mercados seleccionados (Estados Unidos y Canadá) y se espera que llegue a América Latina y Europa durante el segundo trimestre de 2026. Los usuarios podrán encontrar la opción en los ajustes de edición de perfil bajo el nombre «AI Photo Selector».

Engadget: Tech companies are teaming up to combat scammers. “As first reported by Axios, Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Meta, Amazon, OpenAI, Adobe, Levi Strauss & Co, Target, Pinterest and Match Group announced the signing of the Industry Accord Against Online Scams and Fraud. The new agreement is meant to put up a united industry-wide front against online fraud and scams, particularly those […]

Mashable: Match Group responding to alleged hack of user data. “A hacker group called Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters claimed they stole a mass of Match’s internal data, according to 404 Media. 404 Media downloaded the data and reported that it contained some users’ unique advertising IDs, corporate receipts, and other internal documents.”

Oooh, somebody put the Match Group documentary up on Dailymotion:

¿Fin del ‘swipe fatiga’? Tinder lanza IA que escanea tus fotos para encontrar tu pareja ideal

Tinder está probando una nueva función impulsada por IA llamada «Chemistry» que busca reducir la «fatiga de deslizar» al analizar las fotos de la galería del usuario (con permiso) junto con respuestas a preguntas interactivas. El objetivo es obtener información más profunda sobre la personalidad e intereses para sugerir coincidencias más compatibles, revirtiendo la tendencia de disminución de pagos de suscriptores en la aplicación. La función se está probando en Australia y Nueva Zelanda antes de su expansión global en 2026 (Fuente Techcrunch).

Tinder, propiedad de Match Group, está apostando fuerte por la Inteligencia Artificial para revitalizar su plataforma y contrarrestar una tendencia a la baja en su base de pagos. La nueva característica en fase de prueba, denominada «Chemistry» (Química), utiliza una IA avanzada para construir un perfil más detallado del usuario, yendo más allá de las descripciones superficiales y el simple «swipe».

La herramienta funciona de dos maneras: a través de preguntas interactivas para entender mejor la personalidad del usuario y, de forma crucial, solicitando permiso para acceder y analizar las fotos de la galería del teléfono (Camera Roll). El sistema de IA es capaz de inferir intereses y estilos de vida a partir de las imágenes; por ejemplo, si detecta fotos de senderismo o surf, priorizará sugerir coincidencias con usuarios que compartan aficiones al aire libre. Según el CEO de Match Group, Spencer Rascoff, el objetivo es crear conexiones «más compatibles y significativas».

Si bien la función es opcional, el acceso de la aplicación a imágenes personales privadas ha levantado preocupaciones entre los defensores de la privacidad sobre la cantidad de datos íntimos (como ubicaciones o círculos sociales) a los que el algoritmo podría tener acceso y cómo se utilizarán.

A pesar de que Match Group ha reconocido que la actual fase experimental con IA está afectando negativamente los resultados a corto plazo (proyectando un impacto negativo de $14 millones en el cuarto trimestre), la compañía ve la IA como un «pilar principal de la próxima experiencia de producto de Tinder en 2026». «Química» no es la única incursión de Tinder en la IA; la aplicación ya utiliza modelos de lenguaje (LLM) para alertar a los usuarios antes de enviar mensajes potencialmente ofensivos y un selector de fotos que ayuda a elegir las imágenes de perfil más atractivas.

Match Group Warns Apple’s App Store Fees Could Stifle Growth in India

Tinder’s parent company, Match Group, has raised concerns that Apple’s hefty App Store fees—up to 30%—could hinder its growth in India, one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets. The company argues that these charges make it harder for developers to invest, innovate, and compete fairly.

I was informally (mis)diagnosed as "probably psychopathic" by my supervisor when I did my Social Psychology postgraduate at the University of Leicester psychiatric teaching hospital back in 1989. Now I realise that I was really diagnosed with adult autism by a psychologist who didn't have the tools to differentiate.

It's interesting because it started me on my path to computerising the psychiatric investigation part of the DSM (well, initially Hare PCL) evaluation for my Master's degree. The psychometric question-and-answer model and demo I came up with had me firmly psychopathic in PCL's diagnostic terms, whereas these days it would be easily diagnosed as autism.

I went on to expand the idea from psychometrics, to behaviour analysis in virtual worlds, which I figured would be a better capture than psychometric questions - Would the person co-operate to attain a goal, would they show altruism, would they be quick to anger - There's a lot you can measure in the virtual world as we know very well now, but didn't in 1991. Sadly, the lack of modern technology and the need to feed myself brought this PhD to an end without a write-up - But it's no wonder I ended up working for OkCupid, I guess :D

The sad thing about that is that although it didn't impact my life at all, other than having an interesting topic to discuss at parties, the PCL is used as a tool by US prisons in their parole calculations. A PCL diagnosis is a heavy weighting against parole, even though Hare himself has said that isn't the way this should be used. I dread to think how many autistic people are stuck in prisons for evermore because of misdiagnosed psychopathy.

The psychopathy test puts a lot more emphasis on masking and social interactions than on kidnapping people and putting them in wells to skin them later, I feel.

I can't be bothered to write a blog post about this, so I will scream into the #Mastodon #Void instead - Except now I have to think of some other #Hashtags which is always the hard part, I get carried away, autism you see!

Global dating giant Match Group quietly acquired the Muslim dating and marriage app Salams.

But Muslim users are angry over the silent takeover as Match's new CEO Spencer Rascoff is a staunch Zionist and a supporter of Israel's genocidal war crimes in Palestine's Gaza

Callum Jones: Companies paid top executives more than they paid in US taxes – report: Compensation for senior bosses at firms from #Tesla to T-Mobile US worth more than those companies’ net tax payments, study finds

"Top bosses at some of America’s largest companies have received more in pay than their companies paid in federal taxes, according to a new report.

Senior executives at 35 different firms – from Tesla to T-Mobile US – received compensation worth more than the net tax payments of their respective employers between 2018 and 2022, the research found. All the companies generated billions of dollars in profit over the same period."
