It's another article that wishes to push the agenda of vetting men on dating apps, something that should be implemented in the next year or two with the Online Safety Act (I can't see a future Labour Government u-turning on that) on the grounds of "protecting women's safety". Of course, who is deemed as "unsafe" won't just apply to those with criminal records but those who are deemed "creeps". Which is a socially acceptable way of saying "unattractive".
She then complains about how women have to become true crime detectives because the state and dating apps won't do the job for them. People like the author of this article would love for there to be a publicly accessible database that any woman can submit their own experiences, feelings and emotions about a man. Don't think it would fly with GDPR and data protection laws though. And then there is the issue for them that if they write anything libellous, they'll get sued.
“The real mystery is, is he seeing someone else?”
Men of high status are expected to commit but won't because they have lots of other options. Lower status men are invisible ("ghosts").
From what I saw of the discussion of that, elsewhere, it sounds like a similar forum drove at least one man to near-suicide, and even when someone put up a fake profile on there, the women/bots involved still made up stories about them, and tried to defame that (fake) individual...
So this does already exist. Unfortunately it stands to only get worse, as it becomes "officially endorsed", as you point out...

Doxxing groups somewhat like what you outline there do already exist...
