Why is it OK for online daters to block whole ethnic groups? (Hint: it's not!) And how can dating platforms stop being enablers of this behaviour? via @guardian https://t.co/9PLAMAB6cu #tech #dating

This week’s actual tech bae is @anjali28, co-founder of @adaslist – one of the largest networks of women in tech in the UK (and beyond!) Anjali is also editor of the podcast @neverthelesspod, celebrating women who transform teaching and learning through technology. YES YES YES

Our most popular reward last year was the opportunity to get your face (or your boos face!) on a dating app in one of Tech Bae's episodes. So you can watch yourself being swiped on a show – we cannot guarantee which direction tho🤣 Get on it >> https://t.co/AEYP3ZYmpo
