THE GUARDIAN - Apr 13 - Match Group recently announced a partnership with a non-profit background check company called Garbo to integrate background checks into its online properties. But critics argue the new integration could mimic notoriously faulty background checks and effectively discriminate against the nearly one-third of the adult working population in the US with criminal records, without necessarily making dating apps safer. The Garbo team has yet to decide how far back in time background checks will search, a source of concern for advocates that argue that using criminal history against people who have served their time is another form of "lifelong punishment". Another core issue with the Match Group's approach lies in the unreliability of background checks.
