THE DEEP DIVE - Bumble is being sued (again) for discrimination. The case, brought by Zimmerman Reed, alleges that Bumble's policy of requiring only women to make the first move on the app discriminates against men, transgender men, or nonbinary people. The law firm claims that the app is in violation of California's Civil Rights Act, which prohibits businesses from arbitrarily treating people differently based on their sex, gender, or sexual orientation. This isn't the first time that Bumble has been accused of discrimination. In 2022, the company settled a California-based discrimination lawsuit for $3M, without admitting any wrongdoing.
