Grindr近期开始屏蔽用户在其个人资料中包含“no Zionists”(拒绝犹太复国主义者)的短语,称其具有“潜在的煽动性”。然而,平台并未同步禁止其他包含种族歧视的词语,如“no FFA”(拒绝肥胖、女性化、亚洲人)或“no Jews”(拒绝犹太人),这引发了用户和评论员的批评,认为其平台内容审核标准不一致,存在双重标准。尽管Grindr表示正在审查相关政策,但其处理平台歧视性言论的努力长期以来都受到质疑,尤其是在其创始人背景和过往处理类似问题的记录下。

📝 Grindr已开始阻止用户在其个人资料中使用“no Zionists”(拒绝犹太复国主义者)的短语,并触发错误提示,显示该短语“不允许”。这一变化引发了关于平台内容审核标准和一致性的讨论。

⚖️ 尽管“no Zionists”被屏蔽,但Grindr平台仍允许其他具有歧视性的语言存在,例如“no FFA”(拒绝肥胖、女性化、亚洲人)和“no Blacks”(拒绝黑人),甚至“no Jews”(拒绝犹太人)。这些“偏好”与Grindr禁止“可被合理视为冒犯性”内容的条款似乎相悖。

🤔 用户对Grindr的政策表示不解,认为允许“no fats, no femmes, no Asians”等词语,却限制“no Zionists”是“疯狂”的,并指出平台似乎对不同类型的歧视性言论采取了不同的处理方式。

📢 Grindr发言人表示,此限制是“在用户就其潜在的煽动性性质进行升级后”引入的,公司正在审查此问题。但当被追问为何“no Zionists”被标记而其他种族歧视性短语未受影响时,Grindr未提供进一步解释。

💡 Grindr过去在处理平台上的种族主义问题方面一直面临批评,例如在2020年承诺移除种族筛选器,但该功能在宣布后数周仍保持活跃。此类问题并非Grindr独有,其他约会平台如Hinge也存在类似情况,将种族作为用户可见的筛选条件。

🌍 尽管Grindr的创始人是以色列人,这一细节可能提供一些背景,但并未直接解释平台突然限制反犹太复国主义言论的决定。反诽谤联盟(ADL)赞扬Grindr禁止针对犹太复国主义者的歧视,但也呼吁平台“将保护应用于所有身份”。

Grindr has begun blocking users from including the phrase "no Zionists" in their dating profiles. Attempting to do so now triggers an error message saying the terms "no Zionist" and "no Zionists" are "not allowed." The change was first reported by 404 Media on Thursday and later confirmed by Mashable on Saturday.

But while Grindr has cracked down on that specific phrase, other offensive and exclusionary language — including "no FFA" (fats, femmes, Asians), "no Blacks," and even "no Jews" — remains allowed in user bios. These discriminatory "preferences" have long sparked criticism, and they appear to conflict with Grindr’s own terms of service, which prohibit content that a “reasonable person could deem to be objectionable,” including language that is "racially or ethnically… offensive."

"It's kind of crazy," said Gabriel, a Grindr user who showed me the error message firsthand. "Like I was typing a bunch of things in there, and I'm able to type stuff like no fats, no femmes, no Asians. The Zionists one is so crazy because I've seen people say no conservatives, no liberals. It's just interesting."

When reached for comment, a Grindr spokesperson told Mashable the restriction was introduced "following user escalations around its potentially inflammatory nature," and that the company is "currently conducting a review on this matter." Pressed on why "no Zionists" was flagged while other racially charged phrases remain untouched, a Grindr representative repeated that it is still reviewing the policy, offering no further explanation.

Grindr has long faced criticism for its inconsistent efforts to address racism on its platform. In 2020, amid the Black Lives Matter protests, the company pledged to remove its controversial ethnicity filters — but the feature remained active for weeks after the announcement, persisting through several app updates. The issue isn't exclusive to Grindr, either. On Hinge, for example, ethnicity is one of just three filters available to all users without a premium subscription, out of a total of 13.

As noted in 404 Media’s original report, Grindr’s founder, Joel Simkhai, is Israeli and left the company in 2018 after it was sold to a Chinese gaming firm. While that detail may offer some context, it doesn’t directly explain the platform’s sudden decision to crack down on anti-Zionist language. In a statement on X responding to the 404 Media story, the Anti-Defamation League praised Grindr for "prohibiting discrimination against Zionists," but added, "They should apply protection to all identities."
