Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Bumble engages with EU policymakers on issues related to regulating the technology industry - particularly the Digital Services Act and Artificial Intelligence Act - as well as on the Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence, and other issues that impact women's safety and online toxicity.
Communication Activities: Bumble is currently advocating for legislation that would create penalties for the act of sending unsolicited lewd images, also known as cyberflashing in the EU, the UK and the US. We are actively engaged on issues concerning intimate image abuse, tackling online toxicity, and combating tech-facilitated gendered harms. Our campaigns include conducting research on the above mentioned topics, organising events, drafting position papers and amendments, as well as outreach to policymakers.
