Tinder bans most teens

In case you had any doubt, Tinder is for adults only: The dating app is banning users younger than 18 starting next week. It used to be that anyone over 13 with a Facebook account could use the app, though people ages 13 to 17 could only be matched with people in that same four-year range. Still, the company has gotten nervous about "responsibility" and has been reviewing this new policy since early this year, according to spokesperson Rosette Pambakian. According to a Teen Vogue report from December, there were about 1 million users age 13 to 17 on the site.
