Most dating apps are dumpster fires. Whitney Wolfe Herd started Bumble to give women a better option.
大多數約會應用都很糟糕。惠特尼·沃爾夫·赫德創辦了Bumble,為女性提供更好的選擇。
Is it living up to its lofty ideals?
它實現了自己的崇高理念嗎?
Whitney Wolfe Herd remembered the day she decided to go after dick pics.
惠特尼·沃爾夫·赫德還記得她決定去追查男性淫穢照片的那一天。
“It started with me barging into a meeting and being like, ‘Guys, we’re going to make a law, and we’re going to make dick pics illegal!’” she recalled.
“我起先是闖進一個會議,說:‘伙計們,我們要制定一條法律,我們要讓男性淫穢照片違法!’” 她回憶道。
Wolfe Herd founded and runs Bumble, the dating and networking app that says it offers women a safe way to meet people online.
沃爾夫·赫德創建并運營Bumble,這是一款約會社交應用,為女性提供在網上結識他人的安全方式。
Bumble had already banned users from posting such pictures to their profiles
Bumble已經禁止用戶將男性暴露的圖片發布到他們的個人資料中,
and was working on software that could detect them when sent in a message.
并且正在開發一種軟件,當用戶發送的信息里包含此類圖片時,可以檢測出來。
Yet according to a company user survey, about a third of Bumble women had received lewd photos from men,
然而,根據一項公司用戶調查,大約三分之一的Bumble女性用戶收到過男性的淫穢照片,
whether through text or other social media that Bumble couldn’t control. “
要么是通過短信,要么是其他Bumble無法控制的社交媒體。
I was just like, ‘This is bullshit,’” Wolfe Herd said.
沃爾夫·赫德說:“我只是想,‘這就是胡扯’”。
If it were illegal to flash someone on the street, she reasoned, there should also be a law against flashing people online.
她認為,如果在街上當眾暴露性器官是違法的,也應該出臺在網上禁止此種行為的法律。
Bumble is based in Austin, so Texas seemed like a good place to start.
Bumble總部設在奧斯汀,因此德克薩斯州似乎是一個很好的起點。
Wolfe Herd didn’t have many political connections in the state, but her husband did.
沃爾夫·赫德在該州沒有多少政治關系,但她的丈夫有。
Michael Herd is president of his family’s oil business, Herd Producing Co., and a family friend of Gaylord Hughey,
邁克爾·赫德是家族石油企業赫德生產公司(Herd producting Co.)的總裁,也是蓋洛德·休伊的世交,
an oil and gas attorney who’s one of Texas’ top Republican fundraisers.
蓋洛德·休伊是一名石油和天然氣方面的律師,也是得克薩斯州共和黨的頂級籌款人之一。
Wolfe Herd called Hughey, Hughey called a lobbyist, the lobbyist got Democrats and Republicans to sponsor a bill,
沃爾夫·赫德給休伊打電話,休伊聯系說客們,說客們鼓動民主黨人和共和黨人支持一項法案。
and in August, Governor Greg Abbott signed it into law.
8月,州長格雷格·阿博特將其簽署成為法律。
Now, anyone sending photos of “intimate parts” to someone in Texas without consent could be fined $500.
現在,任何人未經同意向德克薩斯州的人發送“身體隱私部位”的照片,都可能被罰款500美元。
