Comment on Coffee Meets Bagel requests government IDs to date now

Not that I like this, but I’m curious about their justification. If I had to guess, I’d bet they’d say that this cuts down significantly on fake profiles and user safety problems.

Would people choose to use a dating site that didn’t have ID requirements, but couldn’t flush away spam and fake users? Is there a better way to get rid of fake profiles?
