The problem with Facebook Dating is that it's made by Facebook, a business whose main objective is to collect personal information and monetize it
Photo: Facebook This morning, Facebook finally launched its long-awaited dating feature. Facebook Dating is now rolling out in the U.S., and at a launch event earlier today the company was very careful in explaining how it works. It’s a separate app and also somehow definitely not a separate app.
Facebook was adamant about how a Dating profile is separate from a user’s main FB profile: Friends aren’t shown as potential matches, and you can preemptively block people. The fact that someone is using Facebook Dating is kept siloed; your Facebook life and your Facebook Dating life are supposedly separate.
For instance, moderators of Facebook Groups can now integrate with the Dating section, allowing single people with shared interests to find one another. To paraphrase what Facebook product manager Nathan Sharp told the press in this morning’s presentation, a group admin can essentially create a singles’ chatroom within an existing Facebook Group. So if you want to find like-minded people on Facebook’s Dating app, there’s an incentive to join a Group on the main Facebook.
A marquee feature of Facebook’s new dating service is called Secret Crush: Designate Facebook friends or Instagram followers you have a crush on and, if they add you back, Facebook will notify both parties. To use this feature, obviously you need to have a built-out social graph on Facebook’s non-Dating services.
