Rejected petition Enforce ID to be confirmed before using Online Dating Platforms

Unfortunately many people of the online dating communitys get catfished, attacked or victims of rape.
I believe that online dating platforms such as POF, Badoo & Grindr changes the way to register forcing members to confirm valid ID before completing the account sign up.

More details

In 2018 alone more than 10,000 people worldwide was victims of assault, rape or having their identitys stolen.

Changing the way online dating confirms who you are would help prevent such tragic behaviour.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because this would be the responsibility of online dating platforms and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for a change in the law to require online dating services to ask for proof of ID if that is something you would like to see happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
