“At Bumble, we have made a commitment to empower women and provide a safe platform for people to meet each other, which includes a human support network that works around the clock to enforce our code of conduct,” the terms state. McCart provided the Herald on Sunday with Bumble’s community guidelines, and said a further announcement relating to the safety of users was coming “in the next few weeks”. “Any violation of these guidelines may result in the removal of your content, a warning and/or a permanent block from Bumble.”
