New Jersey seeks tougher law on online dating sites

by Gayla McCord on November 21st, 2007

A legislative committee expects on Monday to consider requiring the sites to notify New Jersey residents whether they do criminal background checks.

Internet companies such as Yahoo!, AOL, eHarmony and Match.com are opposing the plan, claiming background checks are unreliable.

Senate President Dick Codey says the bill would help protect online dating users and force the sites to take more responsibility for safety.

I don’t believe that dating sites should be required to conduct background checks as a formality, but it should certainly be an additional service package that members could purchase if they desired.

What are your thoughts? Should dating sites conduct background checks or do you agree that they might not be so reliable?
