"Over the past few years, you have developed an incredible app that has brought me a lot of joy. However, the recent events and Vladimir Putin's aggressive actions against the peaceful people of Ukraine are beyond words. As supporters of Ukraine, we are witnessing the tragic suffering of innocent people due to heavy weaponry. With military intervention against Mr. Putin being almost impossible due to the nuclear threat he poses, our options for helping our friends are limited.
One way you, as the Tinder team, can assist us, as a united Tinder community, is by temporarily allowing manual location input worldwide. This would enable us to set our locations to Russian cities and share vital information with the people there about the atrocities happening in Ukraine that they may not receive from Russian state media. It’s important to show them the severe impact of the conflict, as Russian soldiers are forced to follow orders from a single leader, rather than choosing to fight against their neighbors.
Let's inform the Russian people about Putin's actions so they may unite and take to the streets to demand an end to the war. Together—Europe, the entire world, and the entire Tinder community—we stand in solidarity with our friends in Ukraine.
Thank you."
