Profiles, matching, and chat—safety tooling and moderation that scale so real connections are not drowned by bad actors.

Help people meet—with verification, reporting, and privacy choices they control

We implement discovery feeds, mutual matching, and messaging with rate limits and abuse detection. Photo verification and optional ID checks reduce catfishing; block and report flows feed moderation queues with SLA targets. Regional age-of-consent rules and content policies are configuration-driven with counsel—not hardcoded guesses.
