Dating Apps Sued for Allegedly Fueling User Addiction

A class-action lawsuit accuses Match Group, the owner of Tinder, Hinge, and The League, of intentionally designing their dating apps with addictive features to keep users perpetually paying. The lawsuit claims that the apps violate consumer protection laws and prioritize profits over helping users meet their relationship goals. Match Group has defended its business model, stating that it aims to get people on dates and off the apps. Experts warn of the addictive consequences of dating apps and suggest using the apps mindfully and considering other ways of meeting people.
