The offering will support text-only conversations between matches in an effort to minimize "casual encounters" by building long-term relationships instead

What's to prevent two people from having similar interests and deciding they actually only want a casual encounter? Would that be against terms of using the feature?

I'm sure fb is probably just trying to absolve themselves of the chances someone will hook up with a child on the platform but there's probably better ways, already built into the site, no?

I guess I'm just wondering why Facebook cares if someone just wants a non committed hookup partner or not. Why do they want even want the burden of adjudicating completely normal dating and sexual choices?
