I hate the new changes to the dating sites, must use real names and verified by mobile number and or Facebook on some of the newer online dating sites. I believe this invades privacy and takes the fun out of being online. People should be able to remain anonymous on dating sites like the good old days. I like being anonymous online and I like messing around with fake profiles and fake photos on dating sites and social media. I create fake male and female profiles just for laughs and it kills time when I am bored!
Privacy laws and remaining anonymous online and no need to provide mobile phone or Facebook to verify ID on dating sites. People should have the right to remain anonymous online. Only a court should have the right to track down people through ISP address if an offence has taken place. Free dating sites can misuse people's information and that invades privacy. There is nothing worse than being bombarded by random texts, phone calls of robotic telemarketers and scammers because an online dating site has fraudulently sold your personal data to third party sources. That is why I believe Facebook and mobile numbers should not be needed to verify when signing up with any free website.
Anyone can claim anything on dating sites and social media. Photoshopped in background scenery to make it appear to have travelled extensively or into extreme sports, own pet tigers, claim to own jet skis, sports cars with the pics to support the claims. Just keep making claim after claim and tell more lies to cover up the lies. Claim to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer, musician, sport star, etc. Claim to have written novels and claim to speak multiple languages and have a Masters Degree/Ph D. I do not ever give out mobile number or email address online because scammers or whoever could misuse that information or conduct background checks. If they do not have the personal info they can not misuse it.
