Did you read my last line? I did not suggest they do so now, but I do genuinely wonder how long until they do. It's a big issue that they have been allowed to control this market the way they do. It's somewhat tolerable today because they've avoided taking steps to call nsolidate them . But also only for that reason.

I don't think that's true. Tinder doesn't control the dating app market, nor would it be a problem, per se, if they did.

Tinder doesn't control it, but Match as a whole definitely does in a whole lot of markets.

And yes, it'd be a massive problem if Tinder controlled it in that it'd put an unaccountable company in control of whether or not people get access. And one with a history of refusing to engage people who feel wronged.

If Match expands that to its other properties then it becomes a problem even if Tinder alone doesn't dominate.
