The Meet Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a leading provider of interactive livestreaming solutions, today announced it has joined the Online Dating Association, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to safety and standardizing best practices in the online connection space.

“The ODA is a pioneer in standardizing best practices in online dating and we are proud to be joining forces with their team,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of The Meet Group. “Connecting millions of people a day is inherently challenging. That is why we devote nearly half of our entire workforce exclusively to safety and moderation. That is also why we believe it is so important to share best practices across our industry, to the benefit of all our users. We look forward to working with the ODA and its members to reduce abusive behavior across the space. We are particularly committed to leading the way on safety practices for livestreaming apps.”

Said George Kidd, CEO of ODA, “We are thrilled to have The Meet Group join us, and we look forward to its contributions as we strive to continually improve the wellbeing of the online dating sector and its users. We view The Meet Group as one of the leaders in the space, investing millions of dollars annually to keep its users safe.”

The Meet Group is also an active member of the Family Online Safety Institute. FOSI Founder and CEO Stephen Balkam said, “We commend The Meet Group's proactive approach to sharing best practices with other leaders in the space, and focusing on the wellbeing of users.
