The reporter's investigation found that some dating websites charge users high membership fees, but there are serious omissions in the authenticity screening of user information, and completely false information can also be successfully registered. Some platforms have even been used by criminals to engage in fraudulent activities and become tools for "cheating money and cheating color", resulting in many legal disputes.
The membership fee is as high as tens of thousands of yuan, but the blind date is married.
"In addition to some basic information, such as height and education, some marriage information is also false." Hefei citizen Lan Lan spent more than 10,000 yuan on 20 16 1 1 to buy a high-end member of Lily.com for one year, only to fall into the pit.
Light light blue said that once the matchmaker introduced a boy that he was 1.7 meters tall, but after meeting him, he found that he was only 1.6 meters tall. On another occasion, the other party's message said that he was unmarried, but in fact he was not only married, but also had a child. "Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
The reporter's investigation found that some dating websites have even become a new channel for some married people to "make friends" because the platform neglected to review membership.
According to the data from the enterprise database of China E-commerce Research Center, there are many dating platforms in the market, including Jiayuan, Zhenai and Lily. The largest platform, jiayuan official website, shows 65.438+700 million registered members. But how many of these memberships are true is difficult to distinguish.
Due to the mixed membership of the platform, some online matchmaking platforms have become fraudulent tools for criminals. Searching for "Jiayuan" on the legal retrieval platform "No Litigation" involved 1329 court judgments, including 446 cases involving fixed-term imprisonment.
Married with children can be registered as single. The website says "the authenticity of every piece of information cannot be guaranteed"
The reporter's experience found that some platforms do not need real names at all, and some platforms will not review key information such as marital status.
The most important thing for dating websites is to ensure that both parties are single. However, none of the three websites registered by the reporter reviewed the real marital status of users.
This reporter is male, married and has a son, but he registered on three websites as an unmarried person without any obstacles. In terms of audit, one of the websites is bound with Sesame Credit, but only the score of Sesame Credit is displayed after authentication, so it is impossible to filter marriage and love information.
These websites claim that the personal information authentication function is useless and personal information can be filled in at will. The reporter used the photos of online celebrities and female stars downloaded from the Internet as avatars, and fabricated names, educational background and non-personal mobile phone numbers for authentication, all of which were successful. The reporter noticed that the functions of ID card authentication and academic qualification authentication on a website are being upgraded and temporarily unavailable.
Subsequently, the reporter tried to change personal information at will, filling in doctoral degree, monthly income of more than 50 thousand yuan, private enterprise boss, owning a loan-free house and luxury car. And the system does not have any screening, becoming a personal label for journalists to ask for marriage.
The reporter also found that these websites are suspected of replacing users with machines and actively sending letters to induce users to pay membership fees. Less than five minutes after the successful registration of the three websites, the reporter received a short message showing that many users had "expressed interest" in the reporter. When reporters click on the heads of these followers, all three websites jump to the payment page, showing that they need to pay a certain fee to browse the personal information of these users. The fees charged will directly affect the reporter's next user experience on the dating website and the final success rate of dating.
The reporter noticed that these websites evaded the responsibility of censorship through risk warnings. The user registration interface of the website shows that the website can't guarantee the authenticity of every piece of information in terms of technology and cost, nor can it guarantee the character and attitude of every member.
"The core appeal of marriage and love companies is to make money quickly", so it is urgent to strictly implement real-name authentication.
The Network Security Law clearly stipulates that network operators should require users to provide real identity information when signing agreements with users or confirming the provision of services. If users do not provide true identity information, network operators may not provide related services.
One of Lily's middle managers. Com said in an interview that there is no way for domestic dating websites to truly verify a person's marriage information. The website hopes that users can provide their own proof of various situations. However, the user's willingness to submit relevant certificates is weak, and it is difficult to find relevant functional departments to issue certificates now. "If the website forces users to submit relevant certificates, it is possible to lose a large number of customers. There is only one core appeal of marriage and love companies, which is to make money quickly, so it is impossible to cause trouble to users. "
The three departments jointly issued a document, pointing to the real-name registration of marriage and love websites. The insiders suggest: firstly, promote the networking and inquiry of national marriage registration information in the system; Secondly, technically, the mature face recognition system is used for authenticity authentication; Third, enterprises should strengthen the current user credit evaluation mechanism and identify or even eliminate some bad users through more realistic feedback data.
The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that it has been concerned that there is a high demand for marriage information inquiry in the society, but opening the information inquiry of marital status to the society involves the protection of citizens' personal information, and it is necessary to establish and improve relevant supporting measures. At present, the civil affairs department is upgrading the function of the national marriage registration information system, strengthening the exchange and sharing of marriage information, and improving the level of marriage registration in the civil affairs system.
