TECH CRUNCH - Apr 29 - A user of Kaggle, a platform for machine learning and data science competitions which was recently acquired by Google, has uploaded a facial data set he says was created by exploiting Tinder's API to scrape 40k profile photos from Tinder's Bay Area users. The data set has been downloaded ~300 times, and there's obviously no way to know what additional uses it might be being put to. A Tinder spokesperson said: "This person has violated our terms of service and we are taking appropriate action and investigating further."
