REUTERS - A U.S. judge ruled that claims accusing Match Group of designing addictive dating apps must be resolved through individual arbitration rather than a class-action lawsuit. The plaintiffs, from several states, alleged the apps prioritized profits over users' relationship goals and used features to encourage addictive behavior, violating consumer protection laws. Match argued that its user agreements mandated arbitration, a stance the judge upheld, putting the case on hold. The ruling is part of a broader trend, with similar lawsuits targeting tech companies like TikTok and Snapchat for allegedly designing addictive platforms.
