True Love With A Background CheckTrue.com is an online dating service that pledges to verify whether your dream date is a convicted felon or, worse yet, already married. While obviously not foolproof, can at least try to find your true love without worrying (as much) that he's going to come and burn your house down in the future. Full Story. 3 CommentsCorra said on 11/21/05 @ 10:44 PM:We too are providers of online dating background checks. However, unlike True, we believe its call for legislated universal background checks for online dating services is either a great public relations ploy or one more example of of our hysterical quest for risk reduction in everything we do. Our desperate national obsession with safety at all costs in this case will force us to exchange freedom of choice for the misbegotten oversight of our state governments. Like much recent legislation, such a mandate would only transfer our personal power to a moribound bureacracy and serve to weaken our personal freedom. Prozac and bad media have done enough of that already. Online dating itself is testimony to an awkward social condition. Why make it more awkward by forcing security on those who neither seek it nor want it. Online background checks shoud remain optional. Those who want security should request them, and those who like to roll dice should be granted equal perogative. We certainly encourage online dating background checks. But unlike many, we actually dated and have come to realize some people get a charge of finding these things out for themselves. Let them. And leave them alone.

They should be shut down! Post a comment |
