A documented record of broken promises.

Tinder's "six-month guarantee" — promising a free six-month subscription if users didn't find a relationship — required undisclosed conditions that most users could not satisfy.

Tinder, Hinge, and OkCupid charged users aged 29 and older significantly more for identical subscription tiers, without disclosing the age-based pricing.

Selfie-based "identity verification" on Hinge, OkCupid, and Tinder collected biometric data without proper disclosure or consent, in violation of Illinois BIPA.

Hinge's "designed to be deleted" marketing slogan is directly contradicted by its own engagement-maximizing design mechanics, the subject of an active lawsuit.

Hinge re-recommended a user who had been reported for predatory behavior to the same woman who filed the original report — he remained active on Hinge and Tinder for three more years.

Match Group's central trust and safety team was downsized and its functions outsourced once media and congressional scrutiny of safety failures faded from headlines.

Tinder sent messages to users from accounts the company had internally flagged as potentially fraudulent, specifically to drive subscription upgrades.

Match Group made subscription cancellation deliberately difficult through a multi-step online process, including account lockouts for users who disputed charges.
