Snack dating app class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Geoffrey Taylor filed a class action lawsuit against Meet Muse Media Inc.
- Why: Taylor claims Meet Muse Media unlawfully prohibits individuals older than age 35 from creating an account on its Snack dating service.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.
Meet Muse Media unlawfully refuses to allow individuals older than 35 to sign up for its Snack dating service, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Geoffrey Taylor claims Snack advised him to sign up for either Tinder or Match when he attempted to create an account on the dating application marketed toward “Gen Z” individuals.
Taylor argues Snack’s refusal to provide him access to the “full and equal advantages, privileges and services” of its application on account of his age is a violation of the California Unruh Civil Rights Act (UCRA).
“Defendant built Snack upon a vision of connection; however, Defendant intentionally excluded all users who were above the age of 35 from partaking in the advantages of the privileges of this vision,” the Snack dating app class action states.
Snack dating app class action claims company knowingly violates discrimination laws
The California State Legislature enacted the UCRA to secure “equal access to public accommodations and prohibit discrimination by business establishments” for state residents, according to the Snack dating app class action.
Taylor argues that Snack knowingly, willfully and intentionally violated the UCRA by not maintaining procedures “reasonably adapted to avoid any such violation.”
He demands a jury trial and requests injunctive relief along with an award of statutory damages for himself and all class members.
Taylor wants to represent a California class of consumers who were denied access to the Snack dating app on account of their age.
In other dating app news, last year, Bumble agreed to pay $3 million to resolve claims the online dating application company discriminated against male app users by making it so only women can send the first message.
