It has now been over a week since January 6th's violent storming of the US Capitol, which resulted in five deaths and Donald Trump's second impeachment on January 13.
Around 70 of the rioters have been charged thus far - including a man seen in images wearing a pair of horns and a bearskin headdress, and a man seen carrying a large Confederate flag in the Capitol.
As the FBI continues its search for other insurrectionists who breached the building, some women are apparently doing their part by using Bumble to match with Capitol rioters - only to report them to the police.
The phenomenon began when women in Washington DC started noticing men in MAGA attire who had specifically stated their political leanings on their profile and were clearly in DC for the protest last week.
One Twitter use named Ali Awadallah explained:
"This is funny but actually serious. There are DOZENS of men on DC dating apps right now who were clearly here for the insurrection attempt yesterday. Some say it directly, others are obvious from MAGA clothing, location tags, etc. Is that info useful at all for law enforcement?
"I assume some used Tinder in DC and others just had apps open so location updated automatically. None posted any incriminating evidence of illegal acts, but are police tracking this? Is it useful as a starting point?
"I'm on hold with FBI and police. No idea if this will end up being useful but I feel like there's a good story there anyway, so everyone get on the apps and start screenshotting.
"It's funny how obvious it is when people aren't local. My app went from real estate agents, accountants, and contractors to...none of that."
Another Twitter user Allison Norris said she has "a friend of a friend who changed her preference on Bumble to Conservative."
Norris explained that this friend of a friend is "matching with MAGA bros and they're bragging and sending her pics and videos of them in the Capitol. She’s sending them to the FBI."
And now, a number of women are taking inspiration from this ingenious tactic, with some calling it "the best possible use of a dating app" and others encouraging their pals to join the vigilante activity.
After the initial tweets went viral, Bumble decided to remove its politics filter in the US to "prevent misuse", adding that it will be reinstated in the future.
"Rest assured that we prohibit any content that promotes terrorism or racial hatred, and we've already removed any users that have been confirmed as participants in the attack of the US Capitol," Bumble tweeted.

A woman has exposed a man who made an uncalled-for remark about her weight - despite matching with her on dating app Bumble.
Taking to TikTok, Emma, who uses the handle @dilemma.rec, shared the unfortunate encounter with her followers.
Shaming the man, she initially included a link to his Facebook and LinkedIn profiles in the comments, before deleting them when the video began to blow up.
This is the moment she exposes him for cruelly fat-shaming her despite matching with her on Bumble:In the video, Emma shared screenshots of the man's account on Bumble as well as his other online profiles.
She also included screengrabs of their short and not-so-sweet message exchange on the dating app.
On Bumble, only women can initiate an exchange after an initial match so Emma sent the man a cute reference to a detail he had mentioned in his bio. (He had mentioned that he was looking for a plus one for a wedding he'd been invited to.)
So, Emma kicked off the conversation by saying: "So when are we going to the wedding?"
The man responded: "Nah, only chicks that weigh less than me."
Not one to take insults lying down, Emma replied: "Dude ur a gem. Whoever ends up [with] you is so lucky."
He then said to her: "Thanks fam hit the gym and use the weight watchers app."
Emma hit back again: "Actually I do hit the gym fam every day lmao. But thx for the advice king. Maybe get the d*** out of your a** and be nicer to people, sorry your life sucks."
Unsurprisingly, the video garnered thousands of comments and nearly 700k views at the time of writing.
Many of the commenters were confused by the man's willingness to match with her on Bumble - only to insult her appearance afterward.
One wrote: "But HE MATCHED WITH YOU??? I don't understand."
Others admitted to having matched with him on the app themselves.
A TikTok commenter shared: "Byeeee he's been on bumble for years I saw him on there like 2 years ago."
Another chimed in: "OMG I've matched him on Bumble. Whoever is 'lucky' enough to go with him to that wedding will NEED the open bar."
All in all, with the exception of a few, Emma had the backing of the commenters after sharing the unpleasant encounter.

A woman was left horrified after finding out that her husband was cheating on her with members of his family.
Reddit is now hailed as one of the weirdest and wackiest places on the internet, but just when you think you've heard it all, another utterly insane story comes out of the woodwork to shock you into submission - and this is one of them.
Taking to TikTok, Adriana Kucher, also known by her handle @truthifypodcast, was reading from a thread by a woman who discovered that her husband was cheating on her with his stepmom and stepsister.
"For a little while, I suspected my husband of cheating," Kucher started reading. "I didn't have any justification for thinking or feeling this way but I couldn't stop having this gut feeling that something was wrong.
She then goes on to say how the woman thought she was just being too paranoid so she apologized to her husband and "all was well for a while."
"But that wretched feeling never went away," she said before continuing: "So I decided it was time to hire a private investigator instead of playing inspector gadget myself [and] let me tell you, it was the best thing I ever spent my money on."
Within a month the investigator managed to find out that the husband was in fact cheating, though it shocked the woman to know that it was with his stepmom and stepsister.
"Not only that, but he may be the father of his stepsister's newborn baby."
Now, that's some wild s***.
Instead of exposing the husband, the woman decided that she was going to lay low and make enough money so that she could file for divorce.
"Now a year later... I've still not told anyone," the thread continued and even though he fought her for everything, she still kept quiet about her discovery.
However, she did reveal that she had a plan in place during an update.
After stating that she waited until she had received the money she was owed, she sent out an email to everyone in his family, letting them in on the husband's dirty little secret.
She even went as far as attaching pictures too!
"I sent the email as soon as I saw the money had hit my account. The first to call me was Robert and I picked up. First words out of his mouth was- YOU EVIL A** B****! I replied with- YOUR MOMMA. And I ended the call," she wrote in a new Reddit thread.
"The second person to call me is stepsisters husband. He was just heartbroken. He asked me a ton of questions and he asked for my divorce lawyers information. We also discussed him getting a DNA test for all their kids," she added.
As for the cheating family members, it seems like they got their comeuppance too.
"At some point stepsister and stepmother got in a fight. The fight was so bad that the neighbors called the police. In the scuffle to separate mother and daughter they hurt one of the police officers and were arrested. They are still in jail because neither of them have anyone willing to bail them out."
Upon hearing the full story, TikTok users took to the comments to commend the woman's plan.
"Omg this woman is a genius. Good for her," wrote one person while another added: "This needs to be a lifetime movie! Or snapped lol."
"This did not disappoint. The tea was piping hot today," a third quipped.
Karma is seriously a b**** and it comes in the form of this woman!
