Tinder's Parent Company Criticizes Apple's App Store Fees

Match Group, the parent company of Los Angeles-based dating app developer Tinder, has joined in on criticizing Apple for its fees--saying that Apple "squeezes industries" like like e-books, music and video streaming, cloud storage, gaming and online dating for 30% of their revenue. The statement comes as a major antitrust case against Apple was filed in the EU. Match Group said that Apple's actions "force the vast majority of consumers to pay more for third-party apps that Apple arbitrarily defines as 'digital services'."
