In the article, Chantal spoke about how different communities are intimately connecting during the pandemic. She wrote: “Many dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Match.com, Inner Circle and Feeld are now seeking “safer” ways to connect people with face-to-face video chats. For example, Feeld has introduced new virtual locations to enable its community “to explore their desires without endangering themselves and others”.”

Discussing the measures being put in place to ensure these new ways of meeting people online are safe, she added: “Measures are in place online, such as moderators, so anyone who behaves in a way that is unacceptable is asked to leave... Extra measures have also been put in place on the chat apps and social networks to ensure people cannot screenshot or record anything.”
