Civil Plaintiff
Match.com Pays $2 Million to Settle a Consumer Protection Lawsuit
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced today that Match Group Inc., a global online dating service company, will pay $2 million to settle a civil lawsuit alleging the company charged customers for automatic renewal without their express consent.
“Consumers should be protected from practices that deceptively and unfairly force them to pay for something they don’t want,” District Attorney Gascón said. “We want companies to thrive, but they should be mindful to not abuse technology tools to violate consumer protections.”
