David Cameron Isn't On Tinder But Something Political is in The Works
 |
| BBC |
UK politics has never really been that focused on social media and that is starting to be a little weird. Cameron recently met with representatives of Facebook, Twitter, Google, Buzzfeed, Bite The Ballot and Tinder to find ways to connect with young voters. This is going to be important with the EU referendum being this year and could be helpful with any other elections in the future. However, nothing was officially decided.
It's not known why one newspaper thought that the Tinder deal had happened. The staff at Downing Street have since confirmed that David Cameron will not be popping up on Tinder and the BBC reported so, revealing that two of the companies there might be working on something in the future. I suppose we should just be glad that users are not going to be spammed with more adverts yet.
Tinder and Bite The Ballot are the ones with something in the works, but they aren't willing to release any information yet. As annoying as adverts disguised as profiles might be, we do need more things like that in the UK. There are many young people not taking as much notice in politics who are spending a lot of time on social media.
As we get more information we will report on it, but for now, there's not as much to make fun of than people thought.
