Tinder has just taken a major "swipe" of it's own... at Vanity Fair.
Representatives for the online dating app have taken to the verified Twitter account for the company to fight back against an editorial published in Vanity Fair's September issue.
In the piece, journalist Nancy Jo Sales quotes a psychology professor who said that “the impression that there are thousands or millions of potential mates” encouraged men to engage in “a short-term mating strategy”.
Tinder and other dating apps were suggested to play a role in rising divorce rates and more unstable relationships.
In a series of over 30 tweets, an unidentified Tinder employee let off some serious steam, accusing Sales of having an "incredibly biased view" and slamming her for not approaching the company for comment.
