Require Dating Apps to Disclose Domestic Abuse Histories Under Clare’s Law


Require Dating Apps to Disclose Domestic Abuse Histories Under Clare’s Law
The Issue
Domestic abuse survivors and concerned citizens call for dating platforms to take greater responsibility in protecting users from known abusers.
Under Clares Law (Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme), individuals can request information from the police about whether their partner has a history of domestic abuse. However, this information is not easily accessible, leaving many unaware of potential danger when dating online.
We demand that dating platforms implement safeguards to protect users, including:
1. A verification system that requires dating apps to check if a user has a known history of domestic abuse or restraining orders.
2. Collaboration with law enforcement to allow safer dating experiences by flagging high-risk individuals.
3. Transparency in user safety policies, ensuring people can make informed choices about their matches.
Survivors of abuse should not have to rely on luck to avoid dangerous individuals. It’s time for dating platforms to prioritize safety over profits.
Sign this petition to demand action and help prevent further harm.
