Is Tinder Being Used to Advertise Prostitution?

Tinder is a mobile dating application that people, most commonly singles use to find a match for themselves. It shows the user all the single people(who have the app on their phone) in a given area. If the user likes the person then the user can swipe right and if they don't, the user can swipe right and if there is a match, the two people can start chatting. However, some people have more than chatting on their minds and use this app for other purposes. Certain profiles have pictures of attractive women and are followed by explicit ads that are offering sex. As quoted by the state senator Jacob Candelaria, "It provides a certain degree of anonymity for people who are trying to break the law and exploit others".
