THE CENTER SQUARE - A new bill in Washington State proposes a $1 monthly tax per user on online dating app companies. The revenue, estimated at $6M annually, would fund domestic violence services and intervention programs. The bill requires companies to report monthly user numbers and maintain relevant records. Rep. Lauren Davis, who introduced the bill, argues that dating apps have a reasonable link to domestic violence risks and that the tax would create sustainable funding for under-supported victims and treatment services. Some critics question the practicality and impact of taxing dating platforms.
