BLOOMBERG LAW – A magistrate judge recommended that most of the wrongful death and negligence claims against Grindr proceed in a case involving a minor, "A.V.," who died by suicide after using the LGBTQ+ dating app. The child's family alleges that Grindr's app features, which connect users based on physical type and location, contributed to A.V.'s emotional distress and death. Grindr argued for dismissal under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields platforms from liability for user content. However, the judge found that Grindr's liability might stem from its own app features, not user-generated content, allowing the case to move forward.
