The Verge reports that Match.com reactivated a bunch of old profiles, without asking. This raises many concerns about user data for those that might have missed the Facebook discussions recently.

[...] A Match Group spokesperson confirmed that a “limited number” of old accounts had been accidentally reactivated recently and that any account affected received a password reset. Match.com’s current privacy statement, which was last updated in 2016, says that the company can “retain certain information associated with your account” even after you close it. But that Match Group spokesperson also told The Verge that the company plans to roll out a new privacy policy “in the next month or so,” in order to comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); under the new policy, all those years-old accounts will be deleted. The Verge has requested clarification on which accounts will qualify for deletion, and what “deletion” will specifically entail, but has not received a response as of press time.

    Nice to see beta male cucks and feminists still get mod points here. Hate to rock the boat by calling women out for misbehavior. Couldn't have that.

    Next time add on that men tend to be very shallow and even ugly fuckers will only want the hotty. Also men tend to send nasty shit to women.

    Not addressing that part of the online dating scene just shows you to be a mysoginistic angry nerd, further cemented by your tantrum about beta cucks and feminists.

    Get help, meditate, whatever works for you.
