MATCH GROUP FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST GOOGLE OVER UNLAWFUL BILLING MANDATES

Monday, May 9, 2022

DALLAS, May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTCH) companies, including those that operate the dating apps Tinder®, Match®, OkCupid®, and several others (collectively, "Match Group"), today sued Google over its strategic manipulation of markets, broken promises, and abuse of power in requiring Match Group to use Google's billing system to remain in the Google Play Store. Google's requirement will eliminate user choice on Match Group apps and increase costs to consumers by allowing Google to charge Match Group an arbitrary and discriminatory tax of 15% on all subscriptions and up to 30% on all other in-app purchases, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in inflated "fees," while monetizing the personal data of billions of digital app users. Google has monopolized the Google Play Store and is now abusing its power.

Key Points:

Google Play Billing inhibits Match Group's ability to provide its users with the best experience possible.
Google, in trying to attract the top apps to Google Play, had previously assured Match Group that if it enabled in-app purchases in its dating apps on Android, Match Group could use its own payment systems.
If Match Group does not comply with the new policy by June 1, Google has threatened to remove Match Group apps from the Google Play Store.
By insisting on exclusive use of Google Play Billing, Google seeks to insert itself as a middleman between users and developers, preventing Match Group from directly servicing its customers on many important issues.
