Can we trust dating apps to find us a partner?
Dating apps have often replaced our mutual acquaintances as trusted matchmakers. But should we trust the tech companies behind them? Balázs Bodó untangles the spider web of trust in our digitalized society. Bodó sees a 'systematic breakdown of trust in society'. He has recently been appointed as Professor of Information Law and Policy, with special emphasis on Technology Governance.
