Members of the Canadian Armed Forces had accounts on a white-only dating site that promoted white supremacist ideology, a CBC News visual investigation found. The website WhiteDate, launched in 2017, explicitly marketed itself as a white-only dating platform, welcomed white supremacist and neo-Nazi members and has been referred to as “Tinder for Nazis” by an extremism expert and international media. In December, an anonymous hacker known as Martha Root shut down WhiteDate and published its data, exposing thousands of users from around the world on a site called OKStupid. Using that data and more detailed user logs that Root made available exclusively to researchers and journalists, CBC News found more than 500 accounts based in Canada. Of those, roughly 200 have been matched to real people by CBC. Among WhiteDate’s Canadian users, CBC News discovered three members who identify themselves on social media as military personnel.
