Communications Minister Michelle Rowland says the government is ensuring dating apps improve their safety standards in Australia. Ms Rowland said the online platforms have become the mainstream way for Australians to form new relationships. “At the same time, it is deeply concerning that we have had research that show some 3 in 4 people who are using these apps actually experience some form of technology-facilitated violence,” she told Sky News Australia. “What we’re looking at is a number of things – firstly, what kind of complaints-handling processes are in place and how those complaints are actually being implemented and responded to. “What are the safety features that are inherent in the design of these apps and online platforms, how easily accessible they are, how affordable they are, and what is the interface between those services and law enforcement agencies.”
