Whether for a hookup or to find true love, 3 out of 10 American adults say they have used a dating app, according to the Pew Research Center. But an investigation out Wednesday from Mother Jones looks into how these apps can also incubate abuse, finding that companies like Grindr and Match Group have failed to protect some of their users from predators. At the heart of this story is this question: Is that the companies’ responsibility? The tech industry has long argued the answer is no, thanks to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects internet companies from liability for content posted xx on their sites. Abby Vesoulis is the author of the Mother Jones investigation. Her story begins with Matthew Herrick, whose ex-boyfriend created fake profiles of him on Grindr.

Welcome to the latest episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast! On today's show, we have a lot to cover, including a major victory for the Department of Justice. The trial of the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group, has resulted in multiple convictions of Seditious Conspiracy. We dive into the details of the case and what this means for the investigations into January 6. We also discuss the latest failed smear attempt by Republicans against President Biden. As usual, their baseless claims have fallen apart under scrutiny, but not before causing more outrage in the far-right news cycle. We also touch on the latest updates of E.
