CBSN Originals | Speaking Frankly: Dating Apps
Dating apps offer seemingly endless potential matches at your fingertips, turning an intimate experience into something that feels more like a video game. But because users hide behind virtual profiles, it's easy to ghost, harass, and view others as non-human — and now that bots are populating these platforms, some actually are. As the industry continues to grow, some experts question whether dating app companies are really interested in helping people find love, or if they have an incentive to keep people in an endless cycle of searching and matching without any real connection.
Warren, Biden and Buttigieg dominate debate
Senator Elizabeth Warren, former Vice President Joe Biden and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg each spoke for more than 11 minutes at the fifth Democratic debate, while Tom Steyer and Andrew Yang had the least amount of speaking time. CBSN's Tanya Rivero talks with Republican strategist Leslie Sanchez and Democratic strategist Lynda Tran about the candidates' speaking time.
Buttigieg spin room interview
In a spin room interview after the fifth Democratic debate, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said "we're seeing a lot of folks" who voted for President Trump but may be looking at him. "The pitch is we're not going to agree on everything, but I think we can agree that we need to restore decency and dignity to Washington -- that this president is as insulting to Republican values as he is to the Progressive and Democratic values that I believe in -- and that we can put together a coalition to build a different future," Buttigieg said.
