...Very easily. The sex offender registries are public, and they exist in part so that prospective partners can be aware of past crimes. But on many popular dating apps, being a registered sex offender isn't a barrier to creating an account. An investigation in the United States found again and again that offenders—even some who used the apps to find their victims in the first place—could simply create a new account and keep going.
We know that screening is possible because at least one popular site does it. And the owners of that site and app own three other popular services...that don't screen. So why not?
