There’s been a lot of talk about OkCupid lately, because of the company’s decision to allow users to “delete” their accounts if they’re not using them anymore. Some people are asking if OkCupid is deleting inactive accounts, because they’ve seen posts on the site that seem to suggest that. We reached out to OkCupid for a response, and we’ll update this story when we hear back. In the meantime, here’s what we know:

  1. No, OkCupid does not delete inactive accounts.
  2. There have been posts on the site suggesting that this might be the case, but we have no evidence that this is true.
