Match.com User Sues Senior Execs For Giving Away Info, Harassment

from the that-can't-be-good dept

A somewhat confusing article in the NY Post tells the story (as I understand it) of a woman who signed up to use Match.com at some point. Instead of finding a match, however, she's now suing senior execs at Match.com's parent company, Ticketmaster. She claims that Ticketmaster's Executive VP of Sales intercepted her Match.com messages in order to "harass, annoy, humiliate, embarrass and injure" her. The lawsuit also claims that someone at Match.com put her info up on a site of women looking for women. The article implies that the Ticketmaster VP did all this after being spurned by the woman in question (I'm assuming via a Match.com meeting). The details on all this seem a little sketchy, and the article is so poorly written I'm not even sure I'm getting the story exactly right, but I think that's the basics of it.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
