CHRISTIAN NEWS – Aug 13 – A Texas bill that will make sending unwanted sexually explicit photos a criminal offense is set to become law on Sept. 1. Gov. Greg Abbott signed House Bill 2789 into law on June 10 after it passed the House 122-12 in April and unanimously in the Senate in May. Violations would be a Class C misdemeanor and punishable by up to $500 in fines. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Morgan Meyer, R-Dallas, and received the backing of the dating app Bumble.

Bumble Stumbles: State Policy Interests Override Dating App’s Contractual Forum
JDSUPRA – Aug 1 – E-commerce providers usually specify a choice of law and a choice of venue in their customer agreements, and those provisions are typically honored by courts. But in certain situations, state interests in protecting its residents may override these agreed-up dispute forums, according to a recent case involving the dating service Bumble. Bumble is based in Austin, Texas and the United Kingdom. And its terms of service state that the customer's relationship with Bumble "are governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of New York." So when a class action suit was brought against Bumble in California, based on two California laws, Bumble moved to dismiss on the grounds that only New York laws, not California laws, governed its dealings with customers. The California laws raised by the plaintiffs were a Dating Service law, which allows dating service subscribers a cooling-off period, and an Automatic Renewal law, which imposes limits on subscriptions with automatic renewals and payments. Because New York allows automatic renewals for contracts lasting less than a month, the court found that California law applied, despite the contractual New York law provision.
