Last week, our Nelly Ontiveros Cervantes reported on local restaurants’ reactions to the shortage of workers willing to take low-paid positions (“Orlando-area restaurateurs raise wages, increase benefits as they struggle to find workers post-pandemic,” May 24). State leaders — and a certain very popular local barbecue purveyor — are of the opinion that the unemployment assistance that workers received when restaurants closed due to the pandemic is discouraging them from returning to their previous positions. Labor advocates and people with hearts, on the other hand, feel that workers are taking advantage of possibly the best chance they’ll ever have to use their collective power to demand better working conditions. @Joey Burdette If you can’t pay your employees a livable wage, you shouldn’t have a business. @Ariel Jankowski Maybe if restaurants paid their workers a wage more than $5/hour (or whatever it is these days) and not have them rely on tips as their main source of income. Some countries don’t even allow tipping — they pay their staff a livable wage. @April Amira Good! Now offer your employees full time plus healthcare and you might start seeing people apply. This is the country fighting back because nobody can survive with inflation and zero healthcare coverage, especially during a pandemic. @Gemma Grace Hernandez It’s not that people are just at home collecting unemployment. They had the opportunity to take this time and go into a different career/job choice. I’m glad this is happening. It’s time. Restaurants up their food prices all the time and the employees get paid the same. @Chris Simmons Looks like Gov. Ron the Con just gave business owners a boost. He ended the federal unemployment stimulus to Florida workers. Meaning, that any leverage labor had in forcing a higher wage for workers has been eliminated. Many folks will be forced to go back to work making some of the lowest pay in the USA. Housing prices are skyrocketing and local wages are falling further into the abyss. Great job, Floriduhhh. @Robyn Hrobuchak So they shouldn’t get a “living wage” because these are supposed to be entrylevel jobs for high-school kids, but now you want to bitch because none of the adults want to work them? School lets out this week … y’all should be fine by Monday. @David Casson Workers shouldn’t be forced into assistance programs just because their employers would rather buy a second golf club membership instead of paying a living wage. @Joseph Gibson Please remember to keep these restaurants in your thoughts, they are being bled dry by the people who prepare and serve the food to customers.

@Michele Dispirito Most people got out of the food industry altogether. Some went to work at Amazon or Walmart, where the pay is the same every week & they can budget & live off their pay, not wondering if this week I made $300 & next week I may make $100. @Alexander Gonzalez I’m disappointed in John Rivers’ tone-deaf comments. Jobs paying $20+/ hour are finding no shortage of employees. Why would anyone return to an industry that abandoned them at the first sign of trouble? @Loritza Castillo What a joke. Don’t forget the way everyone was treated during the pandemic. In other countries they gave financial aid to their citizens because keeping them alive was priority. Here we were given scraps and told to shut up and be grateful. That bonus $300 was a fucking joke. People who think the working class is just lazy don’t have a sense of reality. If we adjust for inflation correctly the minimum wage is closer to $20/hour or higher. Nobody wants to work for less than $400 a week. Keep holding out, working class. It’s not them being lazy. It’s a protest. @Jeannie JS When employers decide to cut hours and benefits & save themselves $$$, it’s just business. When people decide not to apply for extremely low-paying jobs, it’s laziness and disloyalty. Huh. @Luis Rojas What a concept: raise wages and increase benefits to find workers instead of whining about how no one wants to work for slave wages. @Craig Reynolds Many left the restaurant industry for good and are not coming back, even if you raise pay. Why? Because of a-hole entitled customers that expected royal treatment but gave disrespect and obnoxious behavior in return. They are the ones demanding people return to those jobs so they can once again dine out. They are the ones bitching that the prices will go up because of higher wages. Well, boo-hoo to all you entitled #karen and #ken types. Stay home and cook. You don’t deserve to dine out. They are not coming back. They can get the same sh*t pay at regular retail in a Walmart or shopping mall and not have to put up with your crap. All restaurants should just raise wages to $15, and I mean ALL, and raise your prices to compensate. As long as all restaurants do it, people will have no choice. They will either pay it, learn to cook, or live off supermarket ready-made and frozen. Still, I don’t think $15 is enough to convince people to tolerate the same obnoxious a-holes. Nope, I don’t work in the industry, never have, but I have seen the crap many of the rest of you dish out thinking you’re entitled and better than the staff. You’re not; you’re diner trash. @Harris Drucker I don’t think restaurants should get any publicity for raising wages now. They are desperate, why reward bad behavior? “Do the right thing when nobody is looking!” Orlando Weekly, thank you for giving both sides of the story, especially with the big lie! orlandoweekly.com

THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST Welcome to the Republican frontal assault on reality. The First Amendment is losing the fight BY JEFFREY C. BIL L M A N

This hasn’t been a great

month for the First Amendment. It hasn’t been a great year or decade either, to be honest. As authoritarianism swept the Republican Party, its leaders turned the stale “liberal media” complaint into a frontal assault on reality. Meanwhile, as newspapers’ revenues collapsed, oncemighty journalism operations became shells of their former selves, unable to pierce the feedback loops of right-wing propaganda networks. The evidence of the intellectual and civic rot is abundant. More than half of Republicans say Donald Trump is still president, a quarter think the QAnon conspiracy is legit and 28 percent believe “true American patriots may have to resort to violence” to save the country. So this last month has been less aberration than trend. Still, things seem bad — especially if you believe democracy can’t function in the absence of an uncowed Fourth Estate and robust free speech. Democracy is losing. Let’s start with Alden Global Capital, the vampiric hedge fund that acquired Tribune Publishing — including its newspapers in Orlando, Chicago, Baltimore and New York — to become the second-largest newspaper chain in the country. Alden borrowed more than $275 million to purchase the company, which it promptly unloaded onto Tribune’s balance sheets. As its first act, the hedge fund sent every Trib employee a buyout offer. This is its modus operandi. It hollows out newsrooms and sells assets, cannibalizing every piece of flesh before dumping the stripped, rotting bones on the side of the road. Tribune has struggled for nearly 15 years after billionaire jackass Sam Zell took over the company, then drowned it in debt. Alden’s about to make everyone long for the Zell era. What’s left of local accountability journalism has taken another body blow. When that happens, the corrupt and powerful win.

Of course, it was difficult to root for Big Journalism while watching the Associated Press fold like a beach chair in the face of right-wing trolling, firing a junior reporter in Phoenix after Stanford College Republicans threw a hissy fit about her pro-Palestinian activism when in college. Emily Wilder’s termination had nothing to do with her reporting. Her beat had nothing to do with Israel. AP staffers were pissed. Their managers admitted they didn’t handle the situation well, but insisted Wilder violated the company’s social media policy by being too pro-Palestinian. It was an absurd attempt at ass-covering. Nearly all of her tweets in her three weeks (!) on the job were retweets of other journalists reporting on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The one exception: “‘Objectivity’ feels fickle when the basic terms we use to report news implicitly stake a claim. Using ‘Israel’ but never ‘Palestine,’ or ‘war’ but not ‘siege and occupation’ are political choices — yet media make those exact choices all the time without being flagged as biased.” If that’s what got her fired, the problem isn’t Emily Wilder. The thing is, Wilder’s scalp won’t sate the trolls, only embolden them. The AP’s pusillanimity is nearly as galling as the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill Board of Trustees’ refusal to award tenure to 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones, the nemesis of privileged white men who hit the fainting couch at the mere mention of “white privilege.” The trustees, appointed directly and indirectly by the Republican legislature, claim their decision has nothing to do with the vitriolic campaign against Hannah-Jones launched by well-connected conservatives. Nobody believes them. North Carolina is one of many states trying to keep the 1619 Project — and whatever else Republicans label “critical race theory” — out of classrooms, with legislation forbidding teaching anything that might cause white kids “discomfort.”

companies. They can regulate their own forums however they please; that’s their First Amendment right. You agree to their terms when you sign up. What DeSantis wants to do is force private companies to guarantee free space for politicians’ propaganda: hate speech, disinformation, election manipulation, harassment, you name it. You don’t have to be a Zuckerberg fan to see where that has led us so far. Republicans still chafe that Twitter and Facebook fact-checked Trump before the election and banned him after he incited a riot. Unchecked social-media gaslighting — plus the occasional stop at Sean Hannity’s Circle Jerk™ — would reinforce the feedback loop and motivate the base. Unfiltered bullshit, direct to the target audience. That’s another reason they’re so aghast at the DOE’s new priorities. The second one calls for teaching students how to “[understand] how inaccurate information may be used to manipulate individuals and [develop] strategies to recognize accurate and inaccurate information.” They can’t have that.

Some of the furor stems from new priorities the U.S. Department of Education recently proposed for a grant program. One priority is for American history teachers to “take into account systemic marginalization, biases, inequities, and discriminatory policy and practice.” It cites the 1619 Project and Ibram X. Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist, which exacerbated the conservative apoplexy. There’s irony in self-proclaimed cancel-culture opponents trying to censor anything that deviates from Eurocentric narratives. But there’s both irony and danger in a ruthless, ambitious politician invoking the First Amendment to attack free speech. On May 24, Trump mini-me and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill to fine social media companies that block politicians. “If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable,” he said. DeSantis plays the rube, but he’s not that dumb. The law is patently unconstitutional. Those Big Tech “censors” — Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter — are private

NOT OK, CUPID Some online dating companies are failing to ban abuse or even implement safeguards to prevent it, leaving their users unprotected from sexual violence.

by Brian Edwards, Elizabeth Naismith Picciani, Sarah Spicer and Keith Cousins, Columbia Journalism Investigations

This story was originally co-published by ProPublica and Columbia Journalism Investigations.

O

n a sunny afternoon in the summer of 2019, Natalie Dong stood outside the glass headquarters of the popular online dating platform Tinder, in downtown Los Angeles, with a poster board draped from her neck. It read: “MY RAPIST IS STILL ON TINDER.” More than a year earlier, Dong, then a 21-year-old engineering student, said she had been raped in her home by a man she had met on a different dating website, Coffee Meets Bagel. He told Dong he was on other dating platforms, including Tinder. She reported the events to the police, which didn’t lead to criminal charges. Dong worried for the female users of these apps. “I realized he was probably still on these dating apps, going out and meeting new women,” she said of her alleged attacker. She made a list of all the ones he said he used: Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagel, Hinge and Tinder. She contacted each of them to report what happened. “I need there to be consequences,” she said. Bumble responded to Dong’s complaint in 20 minutes. Hinge got back to her after three days. Coffee Meets Bagel took 11 days to respond. All three platforms apologized and informed her they had banned the accused user.

But when Dong contacted Tinder, the process dragged on for weeks. After several email exchanges with no visible outcome, she sought an update on the company’s response. “He is dangerous,” she wrote in a May 21, 2019, email, “and your women users deserve to be kept safe.” The multibillion-dollar online dating industry has no meaningful standards for responding to reports of offline harm and removing those responsible from its platforms, Columbia Journalism Investigations and ProPublica found. Despite pledges to shield users from sexual predators, the companies have done little to abide by them. Most companies have loosely defined procedures that force employees to rely on their own judgment. Dating app users who report an attack, like Dong, often have to badger companies to take action. The responsibility of responding to reports of assaults falls to the workers, known as “moderators” in industry parlance, who handle customer complaints. They field questions about everything from billing disputes to account issues and scammer alerts. Some dating websites have specialized moderation teams addressing sensitive claims of fraud and abuse. But no site has a team exclusively dedicated to addressing a risk inherent in an industry built on intimacy: sexual assault. Experts say online dating companies routinely fail to anticipate abuse and implement safeguards to prevent it. Interviews with more than 50 former and current

employees — from moderators at PlentyofFish to engineers and managers at OkCupid and eHarmony — reveal a patchwork of company systems in which executives tout customer safety while pushing policies designed for issuing refunds rather than vetting the intricacies of sexual violence. Most employees feared speaking publicly about their experiences, some because they had signed nondisclosure agreements. They describe small moderation teams juggling hundreds of complaints a day. Some employees earn just a few dollars more than the minimum wage in their states. They receive little training on how to handle factually complex and possibly criminal complaints involving rape. Still others contend with customer service quotas that make it difficult to answer routine inquiries. At Hinge, for instance, moderators who scour user profiles flagged by the company’s software as problematic can process up to 60 complaints per hour, according to two employees and a screenshot of the company policy. That gives these employees an average of one minute to review, say, the use of racist and sexual terms or to assess the details of sexual assault claims and forward them up the moderation chain. In this time, they also must decide whether to block the tagged user and to comb through that user’s messages to pull relevant information. At OkCupid, according to two employees and a screenshot of 2020 moderation benchmarks, there’s a 15-complaint-

per-hour quota for those who handle sexual assault claims and other more complex claims. That means these moderators have four minutes on average to scrutinize user profiles and messages of both the complainant and accused, and respond to the person who filed the complaint. For dating app moderators, many customer complaints take just seconds to address. But complicated cases, like those involving sexual assault, can put moderators behind their hourly quotas for the rest of the workday, according to multiple current and former employees at these and other dating platforms. Such systems frequently fail victims. CJI and ProPublica heard from 224 dating app users through a questionnaire that sought input from people who had been “affected by sexual violence” after using a dating app. Of those, 188 said they had experienced assault or harassment after using a dating app or had been matched with a sex offender or inappropriate person; 71 said they had reported a sexual assault to a platform, most of them in the past three years. Of those users, 34 said they never heard back. (CJI was able to interview 33 of the 188 who said they experienced some form of assault or harassment and obtained police reports or documentary confirmation in 11 of those instances.) From company silence after multiple allegations were filed, to the surprise discoveries that banned perpetrators have resurfaced on the apps, ramshackle systems have left victims of violence, the vast majority of them women, feeling traumatized a second time. CJI shared these findings with every platform mentioned in the crowdsourced responses and asked about their moderation and safety processes. A CJI reporter contacted each dating site named in this story about specific employee claims and individual user cases. Five platforms declined to answer questions and instead provided a general statement. Each said the safety of users is a top priority and defended the companies’ efforts to protect them. Three provided partial answers, and one didn’t respond. Only Bumble agreed to make an executive available for an interview. Miles Norris, product chief at Bumble, has overseen that company’s moderation teams for nearly seven years. He said Bumble, the country’s second-most popular dating platform, is already investing in new measures to protect its 42 million users from sexual assault, including a computer algorithm to detect red flags in user behaviors and a software program to verify the authenticity of user photographs. Still, Norris recognizes the need to improve industry standards. “There are bad actors out there, and you need to be constantly improving,” he said. “Not only by your systems and processes but also the level of empathy, understanding of the users, how you respond to them.” Match Group — the $2.4 billion corporation that owns most of the nation’s top dating apps, including Tinder, OkCupid, PlentyofFish and Hinge — declined multiple interview requests and didn’t respond to written questions. A Match Group spokesperson told CJI in an earlier investigation in 2019 that the company lacked uniform procedures for responding to customers’ sexual assault complaints across its brands. In December 2020, the company stated that “in recent years, we have been working toward uniform policies across all of our companies.” Match Group executives have said customer safety is “paramount to us.” The company hired a new safety chief last fall and has invested in new technology to enhance its safety features. In December, Match announced it is part12

nering with a victims’ advocacy group to audit its sexual violence policies. An email obtained by CJI suggests that review is complete. In its statement for this article, the company said it is “outraged that singles may experience fear, discomfort or worse when looking to meet someone special, and will always work to improve our systems to make sure everyone on our apps feels respected and safe.” For people like Dong, who wanted the man she accused expelled from dating apps, those systems put the onus on the user to get a consequential response. Not long after Dong had reported her rape to Tinder, in May 2019, she sent the company details about the man, including a user name, age and phone number. Days passed without a reply. On the 12th day, she sent a follow-up email seeking an update and shared how the other dating apps had replied. Within 24 hours, a Tinder employee informed her that the company couldn’t provide additional information. Frustrated with what she calls a “runaround,” Dong decided to take more drastic action. And so around 3 p.m. on June 18, 2019, she stood in the baking sun outside Tinder’s L.A. office for about an hour. Her sign, a black poster board with white letters scrawled across it, caught the eye of the few pedestrians who passed by. One snapped a picture of Dong, she said. Eventually, an employee came out to offer her water, and another approached her to collect the same information she had already provided. Only after that did she receive an email from Tinder letting her know it had banned the accused user. Dong’s annoyance over the ordeal remains palpable. “I was like, ‘It was that easy?’” she said. “Why did I have to go down there to get you to do this?” In their infancy, dating platforms are typically focused on one goal: growth. At that stage, executives “aren’t really thinking about all of the terrible things that can go wrong,” said Adelin Cai, a Twitter and Pinterest veteran who, in 2020, founded the Trust and Safety Professional Association, which is aimed at improving online moderation. The startups treat moderation as an afterthought, Cai said, letting a crisis arise before setting a policy. She noted that internet companies can fail to set two fundamental moderation standards: first, for monitoring user behavior through a complaint process; and second, for removing subjects who are found to have violated rules. Employees at multiple dating apps describe a haphazard approach to content monitoring and customer service that left them ill-equipped when a user reported a sexual assault, especially during an app’s early days. At OkCupid, for example, moderators had no corporate guidance from its launch in 2004 until 2015, interviews and records show. Today, they have at least two weeks of general training that cover billing, fraud and other sensitive issues. Industrywide, much of the training of moderators has focused on nuts and bolts — how to access a queue or classify reports — according to insiders at these and other apps. Only a fraction of it touches on online dating sexual assault. One Match Group platform has a manual of about 50 pages detailing top priority cases and recommended responses for fraud and abuse claims such as romance scams and online harassment. Its section on sexual assault is two pages. That passage outlines what employees should do to reply to rape reports (“answer quickly, respond empathetically, give resources for help”) and what they shouldn’t do (“don’t send victims to police,

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JUNE 2-8, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

no assumptions, choose language carefully”). Internal company records suggest these guidelines grew out of an impromptu handbook that past employees had created on their own. Amber Tevis lived this ad hoc experience as a moderator for the online dating company Zoosk between 2010 and 2015. At the time, the platform had more than 12 million users. She was one of six moderators tasked with answering dozens of customer complaints each day: incidents of fraud, abuse and, occasionally, violence. She relied on the few boilerplate customer service messages that Zoosk managers had provided until, one day in 2012, a woman called the site’s hotline to report her assault. Unsure of what to do, Tevis put the user on hold. Her supervisor suggested the woman call the police. Tevis, who studied sociology in college and has no formal education in sexual assault response, remembers feeling as though “that person was on their own.” The call led Zoosk moderators to draft a plan to handle rape reports: Get the reporting user’s name, email and other relevant information; ban the accused user. “Any time there was a new situation, we would add that to the training materials,” Tevis said, explaining how the plan, like many of the app’s procedures, became part of the Zoosk employee manual. Zoosk and its parent company, Spark Networks, didn’t respond to interview requests and written questions. Standards for expelling accused users aren’t clear cut across the industry. Some platforms instruct moderators to ban a user after one accusation, barring contradictory evidence. Others have had no set protocol for how or when to restrict access. Lila Gyory worked on a four-person moderation team at Coffee Meets Bagel from 2016 to 2018, when the dating platform had several million subscribers. She remembers flagging every complaint involving sexual assault for her manager and then discussing how to handle every accused user. Should they ban the accused? Should they instead make a note on the account and expel the user if the person committed a second infraction? How should they handle accusations of harassment — perhaps with a three-strikes rule? Gyory said she found the absence of a corporate policy stressful. When she did ban someone, Gyory added that user’s profile to a spreadsheet of names, email addresses and photographs. Yet it didn’t take long before she discovered the same restricted accounts back on the site. She recalls one accused user, angry about his expulsion, created a new Facebook profile to get around his prohibition. She spotted him and shut him down. He set up another profile — again and again. “It was like whack-a-mole,” Gyory said. Coffee Meets Bagel didn’t respond to interview requests and didn’t answer most written questions. A company spokesperson said moderators follow a “zerotolerance policy” requiring them to “swiftly ban users who exhibit bad behavior,” including sexual assault. They build “a comprehensive profile of each banned user” so that any new accounts associated with the user “would be detected and immediately blocked from the platform.” Asked whether Coffee Meets Bagel had changed its policy since Gyory’s time, the spokesperson didn’t respond. Over the years, as online dating companies have amended moderation policies, interviews and records suggest they haven’t adequately increased staffing at in-house moderation teams. Employees at nearly every dating app said the team never scaled up as millions of users joined. The volume of customer complaints,

they said, outpaced the staff’s ability to handle them. At PlentyofFish, for instance, executives managed about 85 total employees in all departments over a five-year period as the company’s registered user base more than tripled from 30 million to 100 million. That meant, in later years, more than 1 million users per staffer. OkCupid has relied on part-time and volunteer moderators to handle its complaints, four former and current employees said. One group of freelance moderators making $15 an hour while working 40 to 60 hours a week tried to unionize in 2015, according to documents obtained by CJI. They demanded better pay and more employees to address complaints, among other things. Interviews and an internal survey show they never got this support. Former and current OkCupid employees said the dating service’s moderators, now either in-house or outsourced, field at least 150 complaints a day. Match Group didn’t respond to written questions.

Most dating apps promise on their safety webpages to act on sexual assault complaints — or, at least, acknowledge receiving them. Many promote automated tools and in-app messaging for users to file reports. Some offer manual methods, including the rare phone line. Before its purchase by San Vincente Acquisitions in March 2020, the dating site Grindr was alone in instructing its moderators not to send personalized responses to such complaints, according to three former employees. A spokesperson for the new owner said it has “significantly invested in the Trust and Safety team over the last year” and hired a “head of customer experience” to review its sexual assault policies. Asked whether this no-personalized-response practice was among the changes, the company declined to comment. For dating app users, company assurances can ring empty. Among the 71 in the CJI/ProPublica survey pool who reported that they complained to an app about a sexual assault — a voluntary, nonscientific sampling — 37 said they did not receive a response from the app. The numbers varied from app to app: 8 of the 10 who said they reported an assault to Bumble said they heard back; 9 of 29 got a response from Tinder; 5 of 9 from OkCupid; and 4 of 6 from Match. Even those who received a response often expressed frustration, particularly in instances in which they received an automated reply. The latter felt dehumanizing to them. Sue M., 53, a PlentyofFish subscriber who works in corporate communications, is now a witness in a pending criminal case filed against a POF user she said forced her to masturbate him. In July, six months after going to police, she reported him to the dating platform along with key details like his user name. She offered a copy of her police report, noting that the man was charged with a felony, second-degree sexual assault. An email from a POF employee arrived in Sue’s inbox the next day — and asked for the accused’s user name again. Sue sent it a second time and reiterated that she had gone to the police. Screenshots show the employee replied with the same boilerplate language. Twice, the employee encouraged Sue to “report this incident to law enforcement,” even though Sue had twice mentioned the criminal charges. By August, the accused’s user profile had disappeared from the app, leading Sue to believe he had been banned. She emailed PlentyofFish to confirm that, but

an employee informed her that the company doesn’t “disclose confidential details about other members,” the Aug. 21, 2020, email states. (Cai, of the Trust and Safety Professional Association, says there’s no law preventing an internet company from sharing the outcome of a complaint with the person who had filed it. Match Group apps like OkCupid and Tinder have revealed results to users who reported a rape, employee interviews and the crowdsourced responses show.) The POF employee answered Sue’s complaint yet ignored the criminal case. “I wish they would just acknowledge it,” she said. Match Group didn’t respond to written questions about Sue’s case, the details of which CJI shared, with Sue’s consent, with the company. Those who report rape often consider the company’s lackluster response — none at all, or a perfunctory reply — as traumatizing as the incident itself, advocates say. That’s because people who disclose an assault want to be believed and to hear an apology. Dating platforms could earn goodwill from users by taking this simple step, according to Karen Baker, a victims’ advocate who heads the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape and has, since 2000, advised schools, professional sports leagues and businesses to help them combat sexual violence. “They need to hear everyone’s story ... and acknowledge it,” she said. “It is a human thing to say, ‘I am sorry that happened.’” Multiple women told CJI in crowdsourced responses that a company’s swift and thoughtful reply — one that expresses empathy — made them feel heard. But a company’s acknowledgement didn’t always satisfy those seeking a sense of justice. That’s what motivated Tracy Lytwyn to file a report with Bumble in 2018 after a man she had met on the platform removed his condom without her consent during sex. Some advocates consider the act, called “stealthing,” a form of sexual assault, but it’s not a criminal offense. Lytwyn, a 30-year-old Chicago resident, said she had little confidence in the police but hoped Bumble could ensure the man wouldn’t hurt other users. When Bumble sent Lytwyn an email acknowledging her report, she assumed the problem was resolved — until, several months later, she saw the man was still on the platform. She turned to Twitter to ask for an explanation. “Hey, Bumble I reported this guy for assaulting me,” she recalled tweeting the company in May 2018. “Why is he still on Bumble?” An employee responded with an apology and suggested the accused might be “deleting and recreating accounts, which is why he is re-appearing,” screenshots show. The next day, the employee assured Lytwyn that Bumble had “taken action against this user.” Nearly a year later, however, she saw him back on the app again. Again, she took to Twitter to demand answers. “A man who raped me is currently on Bumble in Chicago,” screenshots show her messaging the company via Twitter in October 2019, “and I’ve reported him twice.” Another Bumble employee responded and apologized. This employee said the accused managed “to circumnavigate blocks,” screenshots show. The employee assured Lytwyn that the company had “taken additional action to permanently block him from Bumble” and gave her account free perks as “a small token of our appreciation” — five Bumble Coins worth around $10, which she used to access features available to premium members. Three dozen users told CJI they saw their attackers back on various dating platforms. These women, like Lytwyn, were more inclined to report their assault claims

to the apps than to police. In general, they thought the apps would be more likely to take action, generally by banning abusive users, and they were hesitant to subject themselves to what they perceived to be an invasive law enforcement process. Lytwyn said she appreciated Bumble’s personalized response but was frustrated that her accused’s profile appeared on the app after the first ban. “How is it so easy for him to get back on there?” Bumble declined to discuss how it handled Lytwyn’s reports, even after she signed a waiver allowing the company to talk about her case. In general, Norris, its product chief, said the company policy is to enact a “silent block” on an accused user’s profile. That means the accused can access the app, but subscribers won’t see his swipes and messages. (In theory, the accused won’t realize he is blocked and therefore won’t attempt to sign up again using a new identity.) Unlike a ban, a block protects the person who filed the report, Norris said. To ban a user, the company grabs photos, emails and other relevant information that prevent the person from creating new Bumble accounts. Bumble recognizes the damage that would occur if it developed a reputation for harboring rapists, a spokesperson said. “I don’t think there is any other category of our business that we can invest into other than safety,” the spokesperson said. “We do think that can be a big driver for our business, not just the right thing to do.”

Match Group, eHarmony and Spark Networks executives expressed similar sentiments nearly a decade ago, when the California attorney general’s office, then led by Kamala Harris, unveiled an agreement with the three dating websites. The 2012 deal, billed as a joint statement of “business principles,” established baseline standards for what the attorney general’s office called “important consumer protections”: reporting and response systems to address offline abuse. As part of the agreement, which was voluntary, the companies said they would screen for registered sex offenders. Those provisions were already in place at some companies, two sources familiar with the effort said. And, as ProPublica and CJI found in an earlier article, Match Group applied them to its flagship, Match.com, but not to the free dating sites — including Tinder, OkCupid and PlentyofFish — that it has since acquired. The companies largely maintained their status quo and the attorney general’s office scored a political victory. The attorney general’s office, which didn’t respond to interview requests and declined to answer written questions, has done little to ensure the dating apps keep their promises. Now some federal lawmakers are eyeing these same regulatory gaps. In 2020, after CJI and ProPublica published an article in December 2019 about the failure of dating apps to remove registered sex offenders from their sites, 11 Democratic representatives of the House Energy and Commerce Committee demanded that Match Group disclose its efforts to “respond to reports of sexual violence,” according to a letter dated Feb. 20, 2020. The committee sought information on the company’s reporting and response protocols. According to congressional sources, Match Group has offered limited answers that suggest it lacks a standardized system. In response to the crowdsourced findings, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., who has spearheaded the con14

gressional investigation, said in a statement that it is “unconscionable” that online dating companies don’t always respond to customers’ claims of sexual assault, and that accused users can get back on platforms. “They must answer for their continued failures,” she said. Schakowsky introduced a bill on May 7 that would require dating platforms to enforce their rules designed to prevent fraud and abuse. Under the proposal, violations of this requirement would be categorized as unfair or deceptive acts and subject to enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission. Match Group has reviewed the bill, according to a congressional aide, and has argued that online dating companies shouldn’t be held liable, citing Section 230 of the 1996 federal Communications Decency Act. “Section 230’s broad immunity ensures that regulation does not hamstring technological innovation or suppress online speech,” Match Group wrote in a friendof-the-court brief it and other internet interests filed in 2018, “while at the same time encouraging responsible online providers to take steps to prevent users from misusing their services.” Section 230 was created to protect websites from being held liable for their users’ speech unless it was criminal. But dating platforms, including Match Group, have successfully invoked Section 230 to deflect lawsuits claiming negligence for incidents involving users harmed by other users, including victims of sexual assault. Often, judges dismiss cases before an aggrieved party can even obtain information about the company’s response to the assault. One result of this obstacle is that very few civil suits have been filed against online dating companies seeking to hold them liable for harm suffered by users. Now, for the first time in two decades, there is serious discussion in Congress — motivated by widespread frustration with social media sites such as Facebook — about overhauling Section 230. Carrie Goldberg, a New York City victims’ rights lawyer who specializes in cyberabuse, has reviewed the Schakowsky bill. She believes it falls short and argues the only solution is to pass an exception to the provision that would carve out offline harm from its blanket immunity. “We have to reform Section 230,” said Goldberg, who believes there needs to be a congressional hearing of dating app CEOs, “so that victims can hold liable companies whose negligence is facilitating rapes.”

In the absence of meaningful regulation, some internet companies facing scrutiny over sexual assault policies have worked to reform. Ride-sharing giant Uber, for example, issued an 84-page report in 2019 disclosing the number of sexual assault claims made by its users and drivers: nearly 6,000 over two years. Uber devised a first-of-itskind methodology to track incidents of sexual violence and audit its prevention measures. It then invested in background checks for its drivers, created a specialized customer support team for handling sexual and physical assault complaints and drafted new rules to act on them. In March, Uber joined its competitor Lyft in launching an effort to share the profiles of drivers who are deactivated from the platforms because of sexual and physical violence. Victims’ advocates have praised the company for its transparency. Transparency is a critical first step to curb the problem according to Baker, of the Pennsylvania anti-rape

coalition. (She also advised Uber on its effort.) Baker believes online dating companies should release similar figures. That would allow users to choose the safest platform and the public to hold the industry accountable. “These problems are happening at every single company,” Baker said. “The ones that are telling you about it are the good ones.” No dating app has shared such statistics — not even when asked to do so by Congress. When the House commerce committee asked Match Group to disclose how many sexual assault complaints its five biggest platforms had logged in 2019, according to a congressional aide, the company did not provide an answer. Instead, the aide told CJI, Match Group had revealed a different number: It said it had referred 200 such claims to police that year. Match Group does appear to be following Uber’s lead in other ways. Last fall, the company hired Tracey Breeden, Uber’s safety chief, to head its customer safety initiatives. Within months, she announced that Match Group was auditing its sexual assault policies. The company also has invested in nascent safety technology for its apps — first, a panic button that users can press to call 911; and second, a background-checking service that users can access for a fee. (The latter is scheduled to begin its rollout at the end of 2021, first with Tinder, then with other apps.) Match Group declined to make Breeden available for an interview. In response to questions, the company sent a months’ old press release about her hiring and its audit. “We are committed to creating actionable solutions by working collaboratively with experts to innovate on meaningful, industry-led safety approaches,” Breeden said in the Dec. 7, 2020, release. Earlier this month, in a letter to shareholders, Match asserted that it is “setting ambitious standards focused on keeping people emotionally well and physically safe. This year, we will spend more than $100 million on product, technology and moderation efforts related to trust and safety.” That may offer little consolation to dating app users like Dong, who, despite getting the outcome she wanted from Tinder, has vowed never to use the service again. The year before her protest, Dong had struggled with the fallout of her online dating experience. She remembers waking up each day, vacillating between despair and rage. She dropped out of school and was unemployed. Eventually she went to therapy, where she decided to channel her emotions into action. Records show she went to the police but, according to Dong, prosecutors declined to pursue a case because of the she said-he said nature of the incident. Dong turned to the dating platforms as an alternative. When an app doesn’t respond to a rape report, she said, “It’s just another example of the world telling you that they don’t care.” Today, Dong said she still cherishes the reply from one platform: Bumble. She recalls feeling overwhelmed by the company’s “immediate support,” a three-paragraph email sent by a Bumble employee on May 9, 2019. One sentence resonated. “We’re incredibly saddened reading the report you so bravely sent to us,” Bumble’s response read. “So this is just awful to hear.” Dong, who read Bumble’s response to a CJI reporter over FaceTime, touched her hand to her heart. “I appreciated that they took the time to show human compassion,” she said later. As for Tinder, the poster board that she hauled to its headquarters is now shoved under her bed. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

FIRST WATCH 140 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park 407-287-9034 firstwatch.com $$

BINGE WATCH

PHOTOS BY ROB BARTLETT

First Watch has a new look, a new ethos and a fab new approach to daytime dining BY FAIYAZ KARA

E

verybody’s favorite institutional breakfast joint went and got itself a facelift the likes of which even the Witness Protection Program would be impressed by. The place is damn near unrecognizable from your father’s First Watch of yesteryear. I know, I know, you’re thinking, OK, but it’s still a place for the blue-haired set to grab dinner at 2 p.m., right? Yes, First Watch will likely always be a bastion for sexagenarians, but I witnessed more than a few TikToking 20-somethings posing and playing up to their phone cams on two recent visits. In fact, this OG of daytime cafés flashes a bit of cocksure swagger, thanks to its new desirable Winter Park address and “urban farm” aesthetic, complete with a fetching patio area and 360-degree indoor-outdoor patio. Hoity new breakfast cocktails, who dis? The place positively pops, no matter the day. We were lucky to snag a table outside on one gorgeous, and frenetic, Sunday afternoon — a day when cheery greeters at the front door kept the moods of waiting guests buoyant. It was all smiles and happy faces, mine included. In fact, a bite of the chickichanga ($11.79) widened it. The flour

tortilla is stuffed with chicken, whipped eggs, chorizo and avocado, but, surprisingly, isn’t fried. The new First Watch doesn’t employ deep fryers in the kitchen at all, so the cheesy roll is nowhere near as filling as a traditional chimi. Green chilies and sautéed onions add some depth, but even a topping of Veracruz sauce and sour cream didn’t weigh it down. It’s served with a small cup of fresh fruit and seasoned potatoes, some of which were more firm than fluffy. Very fluffy, however, were the lemon ricotta pancakes ($10.69). Whipped ricotta cheese is added to the multigrain batter before they’re griddled and, yeah, I could

BY FAIYAZ KARA OPENINGS:

Tokyo Ramen Fusion Cuisine has opened a second outpost on East Colonial Drive near Rouse Road … Nearby, Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant has opened in the Publix plaza at University Boulevard and Goldenrod Road … Thrive Cocktail Lounge & Eatery has opened at 13 S. Orange Ave. downtown in the old Avenue Gastrobar space. The tapas-style menu features a hodgepodge of dishes from sushi and poke to sliders and wings. A Sunday brunch is also offered … Illume inside the JW Marriott Bonnet Creek officially opened to the public May 27 … Nick Filet, a chain with restaurants in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, has opened inside the Marketplace at Dr. Phillips. They specialize in filet mignon sandwiches … Brazilian-American pizzeria 14 Bis has opened at 2869 Wilshire Drive in MetroWest, offering gourmet pizzas with eclectic toppings as well as sfihas, palm-sized dough pies in savory and sweet options … Maggie Dog, a craft sausage and hot dog joint, will take over the space recently vacated by What the Chuck inside Henry’s Depot … Shiraz Market has moved from their space on Ronald Reagan Blvd. in Longwood to a larger space down the road on the corner of State Road 434 and 17-92, in the old Albertson’s plaza … A new Foxtail Coffee location featuring Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream and the Ravenous Pig Brewing Co. beer has opened across the street from Donut King at 2451 Howell Market Lane in Winter Park.

pretty much eat these beauties every day for breakfast — strawberries, creamy lemon curd and all. “I don’t know why, but guys always seem to order those pancakes,” said our good-natured server. “It’s probably why they don’t live as long,” said my wife as she dug into a plate of biscuits and gravy ($10.99). I shot a glance her way. “What? This is turkey sausage gravy,” she said, scarfing down a forkful. The earthenware platter of meaty gravy, biscuits, eggs and potatoes looked irresistible, and a glance at the menu revealed the dish has 70 fewer calories than the pancakes. So I reached over and stole some, then took a gulp of the “morning meditation” ($4.49) — a blend of orange, lemon and beet juice spiced with organic ginger and turmeric. It can be boozed up with New Amsterdam’s gluten-free vodka, as can the kale tonic ($4.49) mixed with Fuji apple juice, cucumber and lemon. First Watch’s prototype flagship location also has a kitchen and an entrance dedicated to takeout orders, which we tested out for lunch one day. The process from online order to pickup was a cinch, and the containers and packaging were solid. It made the roast beef and horseradish-havarti sandwich served on Parmesan-crusted sourdough ($10.29), as well as the “elevated” egg sandwich with gruyère, smashed avocado and slabs of their famous “million dollar bacon” ($10.99) all the more enjoyable. That bacon, BTW, is hardwood-smoked and baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and maple syrup. A side order of four slabs will run you $5.49 (and gain you 530 calories). Honestly, the older I get, the more I learn to appreciate restaurants espousing a healthy lifestyle ethos. First Watch does it consciously through its company rebrand and menu revamp, and subconsciously too. Now when I drive down North Orlando Avenue and see the restaurant’s marquee, my mind reads First Watch … Your Calories. Well played.

A jilted influencer takes her friends on a free trip to Bahia in Carnaval PHOTO COURTESY NETFLIX

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY: Carnaval — This week’s offerings begin with an original film about an influencer who rebounds from a breakup by taking three friends to Bahia for Carnival. It’s like Where the Boys Are, but with a greater chance of being robbed at gunpoint. (Netflix)

PREMIERES THURSDAY: Caveat — In this provocative horror flick, a babysitter agrees to a light bondage scenario that becomes increasingly complicated. But hey, tell me again how nobody wants to work anymore. (Shudder) Dancing Queens — A young woman is determined not to let her gender stop her from joining the onstage lineup at a big drag club. Seems kind of like cheating to me, but I guess it’s still a more welcome intrusion than another of those damn bachelorette parties. (Netflix) Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: The Movie — Three decades later, your interest in this archetypal anime franchise isn’t any less creepy. But since it’s not My Little Pony, you can at least reassure your therapist that you aren’t into farm animals. (Netflix) We Are Lady Parts — It’s Girls5eva meets Pussy Riot as a bunch of Muslim women buck all manner of convention to form their own punk band. That sound you hear is Johnny Rotten wrestling Morrissey to see who can come up with the worst take. (Peacock)

PREMIERES FRIDAY: The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It — Our eighth visit to the Conjuring universe is the latest of those simultaneous-theatricaland-streaming-release dealies that seemed like the new normal four months ago. Nowadays, you’d go to a theater that was only playing Boss Baby spinoffs if it meant getting out of the house. “Hokey in

the extreme,” says The Scotsman. Ah, what the hell. It still beats sitting around and looking at your kids. (HBO Max) Dom — This Brazilian-made drama series follows the rise of a coke kingpin who came to prominence in the Rio underworld of two decades ago. Or you could just Google that title and see where life takes you! (Amazon Prime) The Family Man — Strap in for Season 2 of the hit Hindi-language series that shows a husband and father balancing his home life with his career as a government agent. See, I knew Hulu must have ripped off M.O.D.O.K. from somewhere. (Amazon Prime) Feel Good — At the end of Season 1, lesbian comedian Mae had broken up with her straight girlfriend, George. Will they be reunited in the second and final season of this semi-autobiographical comedydrama? I dunno, man; they’ve got a lot of differences to resolve. I mean, what with Mae being Canadian and all. (Netflix) Sweet Tooth — The DC Comics title yields a streaming series about a drifter who strikes up a partnership with a boy who’s half human and half deer. Or if you’d rather watch a human who’s all boy and a total dear, that nice John Mulaney is out of rehab again. (Netflix)

PREMIERES TUESDAY: The Amusement Park — Thought lost for nearly half a century, the late George A. Romero’s 1973 film depicts a senior citizen’s traumatizing day at an amusement park. This setup won’t strike you as particularly high-concept if you happen to meet certain demographic criteria, like living in Orlando and being over 35. But just wait for the inevitable Zack Snyder remake, in which the roving band of hooligans that run roughshod over the main character while he’s waiting patiently for churros are the heroes. In the meantime, happy viewing, and we’ll all see each other when Atlas shrugs again. (Shudder) orlandoweekly.com

Orlando’s Body Shop find hope and renewal in things falling apart BY MATTHEW MOYER

“I

felt a little threatened,” Sam Crow, frontperson of superlative Orlando garage-punks Spoon Dogs and half of new Orlando band Body Shop, recalls of the first time he saw his future partner and musical collaborator, Kit Dee, on stage fronting Red Rodeo. “Our first show together, Spoon Dogs played first. Red Rodeo followed, and I’m like, ‘OK, this person is really good, stage presence is really good.’ Second song, third song, I’m like, ‘OK, any minute now you can be done playing, please be done playing.’ If they do too many more songs our set is not gonna matter.” Soon enough, the two would be a couple — “Pretty much the second Sam was on the market, I was buying,” quips Dee — and, inevitably, they would begin collaborating. “We started writing songs together pretty much immediately,” says Dee. “We probably wrote 10 songs before Body Shop. And I think each one was in a new genre.” What came after that was a handful of focused songs that became an EP, FL3SH WORLD, distinguishing Body Shop as one of the most promising new bands in the Orlando underground. The sounds Body Shop create are spectral, humid, minimal and jagged, full of longing and defiance. Listening to the album, we heard flutters of the Gories, the Shangri-Las, X, Bratmobile, Beat Happening and Pylon. And we saw a look that calls to mind the Cramps’ Poison Ivy and Lux Interior in all their vampiric, trashy grandeur. And that visual linkage is fitting when we observe in-person the level of creative telepathy and affection that Dee and Crow have for one another. Body Shop’s music came about at least partially as a result of the pandemic and partial lockdown last spring. Spoon Dogs went on hiatus. Unfairly, though Red Rodeo had just released an amazing debut album — Warning Shots — it got lost as the world shut down. Soon enough the band dissolved. This left Crow and Dee with time on their hands and space to try something new, to create just for the hell of it. “We recorded one song, we didn’t know it was going to be anything,” says Dee. “When the pandemic started, during that

week or so, Sam got sent home from work. And I wasn’t working at the time. … I was writing lyrics constantly. And then Sam would drum to what I was saying,” “I jumped on the drum kit. And then it just instantly clicked,” says Crow. “Like, wait, our sound, whatever this is, is whatever just happened. This drum and vocal primal-pop is what we’re going to do.” “We found what we were looking for,” underlines Dee. That breakthrough moment, that “dark, seedy, slow little song” became album standout “Desert” — hailed by Orlando Weekly writer Ida V. Eskamani as “equal parts exhilarating and enchanting” and a perfect summer 2021 song — the song that brought Body Shop to life. The duo speak enthusiastically about a two-week writing and recording session in Michigan in the dead of winter, snowed in with zero distractions. They talk about a stop at Third Man Records in Nashville en route and the sonic inspiration soaked up there. There was a feeling of urgency to get the quicksilver, mysterious songs down on eight-track tape and “to get into the mindset of what Body Shop is,” in Crow’s words. The songs came fast and furious, with the twosome playing and recording every note themselves. The breakneck pace kept up when Tallahassee label RIP Records stepped up to release the album on tape. Yet Crow and Dee experienced a rush of conflicting emotions when FL3SH WORLD was complete. “I feel that it was like watching a dream crystallize,” offers Dee. “Finally getting to watch it come together in a way that was better than I could have anticipated.” “I think it was also scary,” confesses Crow. “I think we kind of sound a little confident right now. But I know making the music we were not super confident.” “There was a point where I said that I hated it and can’t put this out,” remembers Dee, “right when we finished it.” “I was like, ‘No, no. It’s done. We’ve finished what we set out to do. Now we have to release it,’” recalls Crow. Body Shop is expanding into a full band next. Musicians have been recruited and

For the members of Body Shop too, the album represents finding hope and comfort in hopeless times. “At least in terms of lyrics, I wrote a lot of that when I was going through a lot of turmoil emotionally,” explains Dee. “I want the lyrics to destigmatize mental illness and not in a way that romanticizes it, but shows that there is relief, and for me it can definitely be found through music.” FL3SH WORLD is available through RIP Records’ Bandcamp.

rehearsals are beginning. Crow, meanwhile, is happy to balance both his musical outlets. “Spoon Dogs are working on an album right now,” he says. “It’s like, ‘OK, this week is Spoon Dogs. Next week is Body Shop.’ … And that’s just been the best fit.’” There’s a touchingly full-circle element to this story, in that FL3SH WORLD is being released into the world during the waning (claws firmly crossed) days of a pandemic, whereas one year ago Red Rodeo’s album was released at the very beginning. Is this a happy ending? We’ll take it. orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES

Body Shop is the artistic union of musician power couple Kit Dee and Sam Crow, the respective fronts of Orlando bands Red Rodeo and Spoon Dogs. Their recent FL3SH WORLD EP is what happens when these two get shut in together during a pandemic. Self-recorded on an eight-track and released by Tallahassee label RIP Records, FL3SH WORLD is a six-pack of lean, opiated punk songs boiled down to their essence. It’s an entrancing affair that rides on a wire. The EP is their debut as a duo, but Body Shop is becoming a band. Filled out with members of AOL and Problem Child, they just had their first full ensemble practice last week, so look for them. FL3SH WORLD is available on pink cassette tapes on RIP Records’ Bandcamp. Is emo country a thing? Decide for yourself when you spin the new release by the Give & Take. This solo vehicle for Gibran Colbert, best known these days as the drummer of beloved Orlando poppunk band Expert Timing, has found new breath from the pandemic. Great Pause, which could well describe this project, is his first collection in nearly six years. Yet another child of quarantine, the five-cut EP was recorded using Colbert’s iPhone, which befits, and perhaps even benefits from, the circumstances. Simple, unvarnished and unabashedly open-hearted, the songs are pure emo earnestness filtered through an earthy and rustic musical lens. It’s up on the Give & Take’s Bandcamp.

while we all figure out this social thing again.

American Party Machine: Back in April, Orlando’s American Party Machine returned from a lengthy hiatus with a new single. Now they return to the stage, where the insanity and absurdity of their maximal rock spectacle hits hardest. This appearance at West End’s 14th annual Hurricane Party is your first chance to see the new-look APM in all their ridiculous glory. Enjoy dozens of other bands at this all-day block party including Supervillains, the Sh-Booms, Control This, Kash’d Out and Gargamel. (noon Saturday, June 5, West End Trading Co., $20 presale/$30 day of show, $50 VIP presale/$60 VIP day of show) DJ BMF’s Purple Reign: Few do video dance parties in this city as well as DJ/ VJ BMF. Also, few are bigger, more studious Prince fanboys. And that overlap has made for some of the city’s best boogie-down productions. This weekend, BMF’s annual video tribute to the Purple One will notch its decade mark. The limited-capacity event will be a night of immersion into Prince’s extended musical galaxy, with cuts both classic and deep. (10 p.m. Saturday, June 5, Will’s Pub, $10)

Cordovas, Great Peacock: This great double bill is the latest instance of Tuffy’s rise in the area’s concert scene with its new music venue. Both strong names in Nashville’s current Americana class, Cordovas specialize in roots rock of vintage splendor à la The Band, and Great Peacock are stroking some of the most majestic Southern anthems today. The next big deal at Tuffy’s will be an engagement with none other than the Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood on June 23. The Orlando House Music Party (7 p.m. Wednesday, June 2, Tuffy’s Music Vol. 8: The roots-minded Orlando House Box, $10) Music Party crew returns to action with another classic butt-shaker and, as always, The Ludes, the Hamiltons: Music this one’s for the true heads. GTFO with sure can be fussy these days, and these all that brostep shit here, because these two rock-chiseled Orlando bands prove cats preach the original underground gosthat you’re overthinking it. What more pel of real, pre-“EDM” house music. DJs do you need than to plug in, crank up and Mr. Mogembo, Marsradio, Andre Mack kick it out? That’s right, not a goddamn and Todd Love will spin five hours of MUSIC EVENTS THIS WEEK thing. If your sweet spot sits between the deep stuff in an outside space. (5 p.m. Sanford reps hard this week. And punk and rock & roll, this is your ticket. Saturday, June 5, Elixir patio, free) remember, be respectful of everyone (8 p.m. Friday, June 4, Will’s Pub, $8) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com
