The FTC said that “OkCupid provided the third party with access to nearly three million OkCupid user photos as well as location and other information without placing any formal or contractual restrictions on how the information could be used.” OkCupid “did not inform consumers or give them the chance to opt out of such sharing,” the FTC said.

Have they continued to do so? Ha ha, joking, of course they have, this is just what was leaked or whatever. Fucking Terms of Service, most of that used to be thrown out of court. But since the federalist society fucked our courts they now do, have long done, only totally official around idk 2010's or so when scotus endorsed employers and retailers making all employees or purchasers waive their rights to pursue redress in court to be employed or buy a product.
