Fact check: David Hogg had his Tinder profile allegedly leaked. It showed he's in some sort of non-monogamous relationship with his girlfriend.

Checked on February 4, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, there is no evidence to support the claims about David Hogg's Tinder profile or his relationship status. None of the provided sources contain any information about a leaked dating profile or his personal relationships [1]. The sources instead focus on other aspects of Hogg's life, including his activism and political career [2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The sources provide important context about:

  • David Hogg's history of being targeted by conspiracy theories, particularly after the Parkland shooting, where he was falsely labeled as a "crisis actor" [3]
  • The broader context of dating app security and data leaks in general [4] [5]
  • The increasing role of AI in dating platforms [6]
  • Hogg's legitimate work as an activist and political figure [2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

Several concerning aspects emerge:

  • The statement appears to be part of a pattern of targeting David Hogg with personal attacks and unverified claims, similar to previous conspiracy theories about him [3]
  • The timing and nature of this claim fits into a broader context of disinformation campaigns that have previously targeted Hogg [3]
  • Those who benefit from such claims include:
  • Political opponents who seek to discredit Hogg's activism
  • Conspiracy theory promoters who have previously targeted him
  • Social media engagement farmers who benefit from spreading sensational, unverified claims

The claim appears to be another example of unverified personal information being spread about a public figure, potentially as part of ongoing efforts to discredit him that have been documented since his emergence as an activist [3].
