Tinder was ooit simpel: een foto uploaden, een leuk profiel schrijven en swipen maar. Maar vanaf april 2026 verandert dat ingrijpend voor Nederlandse gebruikers. Het datingplatform verplicht iedereen tot een zogeheten biometrische gezichtsscan, zo bevestigt het bedrijf aan De Telegraaf. Met de scan wil Tinder catfishers – mensen die zich voordoen als iemand anders – buiten de deur houden. Wie de scan voltooit, krijgt een blauw vinkje.
Privacydeskundige Brenno de Winter erkent dat de maatregel logisch is: Tinder wordt al jarenlang overspoeld met nepprofielen. Maar de keerzijde is aanzienlijk. Uit het bijgewerkte privacybeleid van Tinder blijkt dat de gezichtsscans worden opgeslagen op Amerikaanse servers, voor de volledige duur van je account. En zelfs na het verwijderen van je account kan Tinder de data nog bewaren als dat "nodig is om te voldoen aan een wettelijke verplichting".
Wat veel gebruikers niet beseffen: Amerikaanse bedrijven vallen onder de Cloud Act, een federale wet uit 2018. Die verplicht hen om data aan de Amerikaanse overheid te overhandigen wanneer daarom wordt gevraagd – ongeacht waar die data fysiek zijn opgeslagen. Dat staat op gespannen voet met de Europese privacywetgeving (AVG/GDPR), die juist strenge eisen stelt aan de doorgifte van persoonsgegevens naar landen buiten de EU.sproof+1
Privacyjurist Charlotte Meindersma plaatst in De Telegraaf serieuze vraagtekens bij de aanpak. Ze ziet niet in waarom gezichtsdata met derden gedeeld moeten worden en waarom ze zo lang bewaard blijven. Ook de manier waarop Tinder toestemming afdwingt – door simpelweg te stellen dat je akkoord gaat als je de app na 4 april blijft gebruiken – is volgens haar juridisch onhoudbaar. "Toestemming moet altijd expliciet gegeven worden", aldus Meindersma.
De Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens waarschuwt dat de gevolgen bij een datalek met biometrische gegevens vele malen groter zijn dan bij een gelekt wachtwoord. "Een korrelige foto is genoeg om uw gezicht overal te kunnen herkennen en van alles over u te weten te komen: uw adres, salaris, zoekgeschiedenis en nog veel meer", aldus de toezichthouder.
In the seven years since their last album, the Scots have faced down dementia and cancer. Now they’re returning with a visceral new sound – and eager to get back to globetrotting with the Cure
To say that James Graham has been through it in the seven years since the last Twilight Sad album would be an understatement. He lost his mother to dementia, became a father, and his own mental health struggles led to the band cancelling a tour with the Cure. The day we talk about the Scottish band’s sixth album, It’s the Long Goodbye, turns out to be the anniversary of his mum’s death. “It’s all right,” says Graham. “It seems like a good day to talk about it.”
Speaking from his home in north-east Scotland on a dark, murky evening, Graham is unflinchingly open about his experiences, often moved to tears as he recounts the last few years. “I was so ill at some points while I was writing these songs that it’s all quite hazy,” he says. “But the moments are coming back to me – of why I wrote a certain song. When I listen to one, I can feel it, ‘Fuck, you were really in it.’”

Jihadist violence rose sharply in Nigeria and Democratic Republic of Congo last year, even as global deaths from terrorism dropped to their lowest level in a decade, according to a new report.
Nigeria recorded the largest increase in terrorism deaths globally in 2025, with fatalities rising by 46% from 513 in 2024 to 750, placing it fourth in the Global Terrorism Index, behind Pakistan, Burkina Faso and Niger.

Chen Liang, the founder of Guchi Robotics, an automation company headquartered in Shanghai, is a tall, heavy-set man in his mid-40s with square-rimmed glasses. His everyday manner is calm and understated, but when he is in his element – up close with the technology he builds, or in business meetings discussing the imminent replacement of human workers by robots – he wears an exuberant smile that brings to mind an intern on his first day at his dream job. Guchi makes the machines that install wheels, dashboards and windows for many of the top Chinese car brands, including BYD and Nio. He took the name from the Chinese word guzhi, “steadfast intelligence”, though the fact that it sounded like an Italian luxury brand was not entirely unwelcome.
For the better part of two decades, Chen has tried to solve what, to him, is an engineering problem: how to eliminate – or, in his view, liberate – as many workers in car factories as technologically possible. Late last year, I visited him at Guchi headquarters on the western outskirts of Shanghai. Next to the head office are several warehouses where Guchi’s engineers tinker with robots to fit the specifications of their customers. Chen, an engineer by training, founded Guchi in 2019 with the aim of tackling the hardest automation task in the car factory: “final assembly”, the last leg of production, when all the composite pieces – the dashboard, windows, wheels and seat cushions – come together. At present, his robots can mount wheels, dashboards and windows on to a car without any human intervention, but 80% of the final assembly, he estimates, has yet to be automated. That is what Chen has set his sights on.

‘I’m really excited to show you this,” says Alex Kendall, the CEO of Wayve, as he gets behind the wheel of one of the company’s electric Ford Mustangs. Then he does … nothing. The car pulls up to a junction at a busy road in King’s Cross, London, all by itself. “You can see that it’s going to control the speed, steering, brake, indicators,” he says to me – I’m in the passenger seat. “It’s making decisions as it goes. Here we’ve got an unprotected turn, where we’ve got to wait for a gap in traffic …” The steering wheel spins by itself and the car pulls out smoothly.
Riding in a self-driving car for the first time is a little like your first flight in an aeroplane: borderline terrifying for a few seconds, then reassuringly unremarkable. At least, that is my experience. By the time I step out, 20 minutes later, I’m convinced Wayve is a better driver than most humans – better than me, anyway.

When Spain’s King Juan Carlos fell over and broke his hip while on an elephant hunt with a girlfriend in Botswana in 2012, he probably thought that Spaniards would accept this as a minor gaffe after a lifetime of public service. The monarch had, after all, weathered numerous scandals, including a string of extramarital affairs and investigations into his family’s financial affairs, during the previous 37 years of his reign. Money was hardly a problem in his life.
This time, however, Spaniards had had enough. It was the height of the eurozone crisis and there was outrage that Juan Carlos was on what was reported to be a free hunting trip while people endured the poverty, mass unemployment and terror of an economy in freefall. Within two years, the king had abdicated and was passing the crown to his son, Felipe VI.

Congratulations to Zendaya and Tom Holland, the widely liked gen Z power couple who recently got married after nearly a decade together. Or did they?
Weeks after Zendaya’s stylist, Law Roach, seemed to spill the news on the red carpet, rumours are still swirling, with neither (alleged) bride nor (purported) groom rushing to put them to rest.

Hungary’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, will face pressure from other EU leaders to stop blocking a vital €90bn loan for Ukraine over a political dispute about an oil pipeline.
Ahead of an EU summit on Thursday, Orbán, who faces elections next month, showed no sign of backing down in his veto of the loan. He said he would not allow it until the damaged Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline supplying Hungary with Russian oil via Ukraine was repaired.

Brilliant yellow daffodils and the pale foam of the first fruit tree blossom (cherry plum or myrobalan) draw attention from the lichens and mosses that have thrived in winter’s rain and mild gloom.
At home, in this steep orchard and encroaching woodland, the ground was used as a market garden until the 1950s. Hardy, old fashioned narcissi from those days still flower, many in their original rows and plots. Earliest to emerge are the yellows of double Van Sion (known locally as the Lent lily), Henry Irving with dainty trumpets on long stems, Princep, Helios and Carlton, already fading and past their best, succeeded by Victoria. A woodpecker has drummed for weeks and particularly cheering is the sound of a chiffchaff, returned to this partially wooded enclave.

It was a remarkable, but secretive, ceremony that took place earlier this week for a class of 21 students graduating with nursing degrees in Myanmar. Hidden away from the spy drones of the country’s military junta, and working around internet blackouts, the students had trained as part of an underground health system, which has been evolving in Myanmar since the coup in February 2021 crushed a pro-democracy uprising and ignited civil war.
“Safety is never guaranteed,” says Khun Sue Reh, 23, who on Monday was among the group graduating with the specially designed three-year nursing qualification.
