Requires internet dating services to utilize license verification for New York members and implement reasonable security features that prohibits usage of the online dating service absent identity verification.

This bill requires online dating services in New York to verify the identities of their users by checking their licenses. It aims to enhance safety by ensuring that people cannot use these services without confirming who they are. The goal is to protect users from potential scams and unsafe interactions.

Supporters of this bill argue that it will create a safer online dating environment by ensuring that all users are verified, thereby reducing the risk of fraud and harassment. They believe that identity verification will help build trust among users and make dating apps more secure for everyone.

Critics of the bill may argue that requiring license verification could discourage individuals from using dating services due to privacy concerns and the potential for data misuse. They might contend that such regulations could limit access to dating platforms, especially for those who prefer anonymity or don't have a driver's license.
