If you’ve been in a long-term relationship, you might not be familiar with the Tinder app that has reshaped modern dating. The concept of swiping right or left can seem foreign, especially if your focus has been on a committed partnership. Thankfully, there’s a new tool that can help you investigate whether your significant other is exploring potential matches behind your back, without you needing to dive into the app yourself.
Introducing Swipebuster
Swipebuster, a recently launched website, allows users to search for their partner’s Tinder profile using basic details such as their name, age, gender, and location. For a fee of $4.99, you can perform up to three searches to uncover any matches, complete with profile pictures, last login times, and whether they’re looking for men or women.
Swipebuster taps into Tinder’s application programming interface (A.P.I.), which, as Vanity Fair explains, holds user data that can be accessed by those with a certain level of tech knowledge. The anonymous creator of Swipebuster emphasizes that his goal is not simply to expose cheaters but to highlight how easily accessible personal information can be online. “There is too much data about people that they themselves don’t know is available,” he states. “People are oversharing and companies aren’t transparent enough about their data practices.”
The Reality of Online Dating
While this mission is commendable, the reality is that many users flock to the site primarily to find out if they should reconsider their relationship with someone who might be swiping right on others. Although Tinder claims that only about 1% of its users are married, a survey by GlobalWebIndex reveals that approximately 42% of registered users are in committed relationships, with 30% married.
The lessons learned from last year’s Ashley Madison data breach illustrate that there are indeed individuals willing to jeopardize their relationships for online flirtation. This new platform complicates their ability to do so undetected. It’s a sobering thought that such a site even needs to exist, as it reflects not only our lax approach to sharing personal information but also our carelessness in navigating romantic commitments.
