New legislation can kill free sites like POF (PlentyOfFish)

Recently, a man was accused of raping woman he met on Christian Mingle and a woman sues Match for USD10 million.

New Legislation to rule Online Dating Sites can kill free online dating proposals like POF  (PlentyOfFish) if that Legislation forces to conduct ID verification or background checks, or to keep records for 5/10 years. 

Please remember the Jana Claudia Gómez Menéndez case
and
the Sonia Varaschin case. (not sure if she was related to PlentyOfFishA denounce never investigated???)
 


Have you seen how Match Japan operates?
It has little traffic but Japaneses need to upload up to 7 certificates to increase reliability of their profiles.
eHarmony Japan also offered those features.

The Online Dating Industry has no/weak Legislation, no ID verification, low reliable background checks, no Quality Norms.
No one compatibility matching method is Scientifically Proven.
BUT
A variety of new laws, or new interpretations of existing laws, could subject dating sites to claims or otherwise harm their business.
