BEVERLY HILLS /PRNewswire/ — Plaintiff, Bill Warner has filed a class action lawsuit against Tinder over its recent announcement that it will be charging users $2.99 per month. According to the complaint, “Defendant offered its free services with the goal in mind of enlisting a user base of tens or hundreds of millions of users, with the ultimate goal of later changing the rules of participation and deceptively and forcibly migrating a substantially percentage of its user based to a paid subscription model.”
Warner is being represented by the Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman. According to Friedman, Warner claims he would have reconsidered his decision to download and use the Tinder app if he had known that it would one day no longer be free.
He alleges violations of the California False Advertising Act and the Business and Professions Code.
The suit seeks statutory penalties and restitutions of funds obtained by Tinder.
