Can't say I'm surprised, will be interesting to see how the ripple effects (if any) unfold on Adult dating and dating.

616k though? For JDI that's just like paying your tab on the way out.

It's not about the fine, of course they can handle it, it's about the future and what it means for their business. They are under a microscope now, they will be scrutinized on everything they do from now on.

Just run outside of the USA! Casinos do fine and dandy even though they are forbidden in the U.S.

Well, the worst case is that they issue an international warrant for your arrest, and you make sure you don't step foot on either U.S. soil or any country that has an extradition treaty with the U.S. (which is most of the developed and developing world) http://technology.inquirer.net/31951...asino-operator.

Not really a great way to live.

I know someone who worked in billing support for the "I know that girl" website.
Some people actually threatened to sue because they did not know any of the girls...

Lol amazing how they managed to pass the Turing test with their bots and make it seem real.

I would like to test their chat AI to use on my landers

Haha, if they enter this year's Loebner Prize competition, they will be able to pay off a small part of their fine.

nothing is changing. smart companies like GP Media (Fling, Meetlocals, Instabang, Snapsext, etc. ) already have real female users in their database who are incented to chat with new members.

Is this the first time the FTC have investigated a dating company for fake profiles? I know there was the Cupid thing caused by a media circus but I don't think that was ever investigated externally. Pretty concerning for anyone in the casual dating vertical.

Not just casual dating, this is just hearsay, but I've heard Badoos rise to fame was through fake profiles
