《中英對照讀新聞》Florida mom’s photos used in bogus Match.com profiles佛羅里達媽咪的照片被用在約會網站假人物簡介
◎詹立群
“Not a day goes by when someone doesn’t tell me that they saw my pictures posted on Match.com or another web site,” says Yuliana Avalos, a Florida mom and part-time model who never actually signed up for the site.
「我沒有一天不被告知說我的照片被放上『配對』網站或其他網站」,尤里亞娜.阿法若斯說,(她是來自)佛羅里達州的母親及兼職模特兒,她從未真正加入網站。
The popular dating site is engaging in “one of the biggest conspiracies ever executed on the Internet,” the class-action Manhattan Federal Court suit says.
那個受歡迎的約會網站涉入「網際網路所發生的最大陰謀之一」,曼哈頓聯邦法庭集體訴訟起訴書說。
“Thousands” of others, including celebrities, soldiers and adult actresses, have had their pictures plucked from Facebook and other sites and used for bogus profiles as well – even though they ’’are not and never were”members of Match’s dating sites, the suit says.
其他「數千人」,包括名人、軍人及成人片女優,他們的照片被從臉書或其他網站下載,也被用做假人物簡介,雖然他們「現在不是也未曾加入」配對約會網站會員,起訴書說。
Inflating the number of profiles on Match and its other 25 dating sites is good for their business.
把配對網站及其另外25個約會網站的人物簡介數量灌水,對它們的生意有幫助。
The suit also says the company could easily crack down on the numerous bogus profiles by using facial recognition software, but chooses not to.
起訴書也說,(網站)公司可輕易地藉由使用臉部辨識軟體抑制數量龐大的假人物簡介,卻選擇不這麼做。
