Something very weird is happening on Tinder

Some Tinder users have started noticing a strange new kind of profile. Swipe through the photos and everything looks normal — until you hit the last one.

That's where things get weird. The final photo always shows a face that doesn't quite fit: sometimes silly, sometimes unsettling. I went down a rabbit hole of stolen identities and catfishing schemes to figure out what's really going on.

@DaleOh It's romance scams, but the way they "cheat' the face rec is kinda the topic

Oh my god. A photo ID thing that's not even worthwhile cause it needs ONE fucking photo. Worthless!

identity validation working so well. This is what we need, mass surveillance and data breaches and even less security in exchange.
