Tinder Exits Russia Over "Human Rights"

The company behind dating app Tinder is leaving Russia, more than a year after the invasion of Ukraine saw a wave of international companies close or suspend their Russian operations.

Match Group said on Monday that it will quit Russia by June 30 because "we are committed to protecting human rights."

The Texas-based firm made the disclosure in its annual impact report, a summary of how the company is meeting goals on the environment, human rights and good governance.

"Our brands are taking steps to restrict access to their services in Russia and will complete their withdrawal from the Russian market by June 30, 2023," it said.

Most major Western companies have ended or suspended their operations in protest to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as Chinese companies expand their presence.

And as it seeks to reduce its dependence on the west, Russia has been shoring up its domestic technology sector in recent years.

Tinder's exit also comes when Russia has been strengthening laws to regulate the tech sector, against a backdrop of growing political repression.

BJP Goes To Election Commission Over Congress's Priyank Kharge's Barb

The BJP on Tuesday raised with the Election Commission the issue of the Congress promising tough action against Bajrang Dal and its leader Prinyak Kharge calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi "nalayak" as it accused the opposition party of resorting to politics of appeasement and division in Karnataka.

Union minister Piyush Goyal, who led the BJP delegation to the EC, defended the Bajrang Dal, the youth wing of the RSS-affiliated Vishva Hindu Parishad, as an organisation devoted to Lord Hanuman and serving people, and said the Congress' attack on it was "shameful". It shows that the party believes in only appeasement, he told reporters.

Asked if the party raised the issue before the poll panel, he said every "objectionable" comment and action of the Congress aimed at dividing the society was taken up.

Party sources said the Bajrang Dal issue was raised orally before the EC.

The delegation included BJP MP Anil Baluni and party functionary Om Pathak.

Goyal claimed that the Congress is rattled as the BJP is set to win the May 10 polls, adding that the opposition party is now trying to vitiate the law and order situation and divide the society as a last resort.

Targeting the Congress, he said its president Mallikarjun Kharge first called Modi a "poisonous snake" and his MLA-son has now made another objectionable remark by calling him "nalayak" (inept). "We have demanded that the EC take strict action in all these matters," he said.

The senior BJP leader also dismissed the Congress' complaint of "hate speech" against ruling party leaders like Home Minister Amit Shah and its president J P Nadda, saying they have raised the issues of national security and integrity.

The Congress is trying to tarnish the image of Modi and India as the country's reputation has risen under his leadership, he said.

The Congress in its election manifesto said on Tuesday that it is committed to taking firm and decisive action against individuals and organisations such as Bajrang Dal and the Popular Front of India (PFI) for "spreading hatred" among communities on grounds of caste and religion.

The action will include a "ban" against such organisations, the party said.

Cafe Names Breakfast Item After Regular Customer. Watch How He Reacts

The relationship between a business and its customers does not end with the sale or purchase of goods and services; rather, it can progress to the next level of human connection when both sides treat one another with honesty and decency.

An Irish cafe has made the move to go even farther with its sense of appreciation and civility by naming a dish after its best and most frequent customer.

Grangecon Kitchen, a cafe in Ireland, has a loyal elderly customer whose name is John, and he orders a breakfast dish daily that contains half-boiled eggs, sausages, and roasted vegetables. The restaurant named the same dish after him and added it to the menu with the name "John's breakfast".

The moment the cafe showed him the new menu with a dish named after him, his reaction was priceless and captured on camera by the cafe staff. The video was shared on the social media platform of the cafe.

"Almost every day, John (our best customer!) visits us for breakfast and orders his fry-up. So after years of dockets going into the chef for 'John's breakfast," we decided to just put it on the menu for everyone to order John's breakfast! Here's a clip of him seeing it on the menu for the first time today!" the restaurant wrote while sharing the video clip on its Instagram page.
