Happn Fake Profiles
Fast-growing startup Happn has a unique--albeit risky--strategy to promote women's equality.
This way, it is easier for Happn to prevent people creating fake profiles. However, when you’ve linked the two social media platforms, Happn will automatically take pictures from your Facebook profile to show on your dating profile. Since Facebook information is required, ie. Profile, first name, and age, fake profiles are easier to spot. Nothing related to the dating app will ever appear on your Facebook profile or feed. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll have a few basic photos from Facebook and you can fill out your profession, education and a short bio (500 characters). With its mission of reconciling missed connections, Happn aims to help you out. Released in February 2014, Happn is a location-based online dating mobile application that connects members who are geographically close to each other– particularly, those who have passed by each other already. With over 50 million users worldwide, the dating app.
On Tuesday, in honor of International Women's Day, those seeking romance on the dating app will encounter pictures of bruised models alongside regular dating profiles. The pictures come accompanied with the words 'I'm One In Three,' representing the grim statistic that as many as one third of women have experienced physical or sexual abuse in their lifetime. Happn has partnered with Equality Now, an international human rights organization, to launch the campaign.
'Our primary focus is to facilitate encounters in real life. Making the connection between overlooked survivors of violence against women and all the rest of us who otherwise pass them by every day, Happn is a means to raise awareness for the cause,' said Didier Rappaport, the co-founder and CEO of the Paris-based company. By clicking on these profiles, users can donate to Equality Now, or start the conversation on social media using the hashtag #OneInThreeWomen.

It's unclear how users will respond to these disturbing images, though, which are likely to cause some degree of emotional distress. The strategy will likely alienate a significant portion of its customer base. Still, this may be precisely the point. As journalist Rebecca Reid writes in The Telegraph:
'There will be those who find the project too graphic, who accuse it of being crude. And in some ways, it is. But if you're going to convey a brutal message to a vast quantity of people, being direct is the only way to go about it.'

Beyond simply raising awareness, the goal is to affect change in both the developed and the developing world. Consider, for instance, that female genital mutilation is still prevalent in about 28 African countries, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights. Just 125 countries globally have outlawed domestic violence, and in the U.S., a woman is assaulted or beaten every nine seconds, according to National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
'We hope that showing how enormous this problem is will inspire everyone to call on their governments to end all forms of violence against women,' said Yasmeen Hassan, Equality Now's global executive director.
Today, Happn counts more than 13 million users across 35 cities globally, up from 10 million just two months ago. The app uses an in-built geo-location tool to pull up profiles of other users within a 250-meter (820 foot) radius, in an effort to facilitate those 'missed connections.' Say, for instance, an attractive person exits the grocery store before you have time to introduce yourself. With Happn, the opportunity isn't lost -- simply open the app and connect with them digitally.

Though the U.S. is arguably the company's most important market, Rappaport says the app's most-engaged cities are currently Sao Paulo, Brazil and London, England, with New York City coming in fifth. Earlier this month, the company tapped Serge Gojkovich, formerly of the all-male dating network Grindr, to serve as the U.S. marketing chief.
'Our mission is not to say come, and you will find love,' Rappaport explained in an interview with Inc. 'Our mission is to make real-life meetings, then people are free to do what they want.' Recent features, including voice messaging, and integration with apps such as Spotify and Instagram, are meant to help users to 'express who they are' from behind their phone screens.
When asked what sets Happn apart from competitors stateside--behemoth Tinder, with its 50 million active users, most obviously--Rappaport pointed to a cultural singularity: 'French people, we know what is love and what is romance,' he said. 'First, we have put the little coincidences of life at the center of our process. In that way, we are poetic, and we stay poetic.'
Hello everyone
My team and I have been alerted of the increasing number of the fake profiles pretending to be me all around the social networks and dating sites/apps. This has been going on for years and all around the world and truth to be told there’s nothing much I can do about it. Facebook and Instagram are pretty much cooperative when it comes to closing the fake profiles. The dating sites/apps and other messaging services, I don’t really know anything about, so I can’t really react there so that’s why I am asking you to report any profile on any social network, dating site or app or any messaging service that is pretending/impersonating me, using my identity or my pictures under some false name.
The only official channels on Facebook and Instagram are the ones connected to this official site. Other than that any other profile is a fake one. That also means, I am not, never been on, and never will be on any dating sites or apps or messaging services. Please, don’t be fooled by any fake profile impersonating me contacting you as it has nothing to do with me. Report all those profiles to the site/app you are on; Facebook, Instagram or any dating sites/apps, messaging apps or even the authorities, if you feel you’ve been scammed by fake profiles using my identity.

Since I’m a public person, I’m aware of the fact that my photos either on my social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Insta stories, Insta live) or published in the media (internet portals, magazines, various interviews, movie premieres, events etc.) are public and therefore easily taken and used for fake profiles and impersonation. The police in my country has already been aware of all this since it’s a problem that’s, as I said, been going on for years and years, around the world in various countries.
Important!
