TOP CLASS ACTIONS – A class action lawsuit has been filed against Bumble by plaintiffs Christine Johnson and Diane Foster, claiming the app's "first move" feature discriminates against straight women. The feature requires women to initiate contact with men they match with, which the plaintiffs argue denies them the option to be pursued. They claim the policy is based on stereotypes about women needing protection from men, disempowering heterosexual women by taking away their choices. The lawsuit, filed in California, alleges the feature violates the state's Unruh Civil Rights Act.
