| dc.description.abstract | While algorithmic online dating has been increasingly used by singles worldwide to build romantic relationships, a growing number of studies focus on social impacts and ethical concerns of online dating algorithms. To comprehensively examine online dating algorithms from a social and ethical perspective, this researcher conducted a systematic literature review and a technoethical assessment of online dating algorithms’ social influences and ethical innovations. This work identified seven major social and ethical issues around online dating algorithms, including personal development, culture, social equality, business, political concerns, ethics and morals, and privacy. The technoethical assessment also calls for 1) more public awareness of online dating algorithms’ influential potential, and 2) online dating platforms’ responsible design, use and regulation of online dating algorithms. This study fills the knowledge gap between technology and communication studies concerning algorithmic governance in online dating and contributes strategic information on ethical innovations in online dating algorithms’ design.
