The Biden administration partnered with major dating apps including Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge to promote COVID-19 vaccinations among young adults. These platforms now offer badges for vaccinated users and premium content incentives, citing data from OkCupid that vaccinated individuals receive 14% more matches. Critics describe the move as a desperate attempt to leverage "fear of missing out" (FOMO) to reach the 70% adult vaccination goal.

The concept of a "global town square" is dismissed as unworkable due to human tribalism and algorithmic amplification of conflict. The dating app Bumble reportedly disabled its political filter after users utilized it to harass those with opposing views. An anecdote describes a date ending in a workplace retaliation threat over political differences, highlighting extreme polarization.
