3/ Tinder Announces ID Verification Is Expanding To Users In US, UK, Brazil & Mexico
"The process requires a video selfie and a valid Driver’s License or Passport, and will check to see whether the face in the video selfie matches both the photo on the ID as well as the person’s profile photos"
Based on a review of their privacy policy, it appears Tinder is leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) services but not sure if an #idv provider is involved
