OkCupid and parent company Match Group settled with the FTC after sharing nearly 3 million user photos and location data with a facial recognition firm in 2014 without user consent. The settlement includes no financial penalty — only a permanent prohibition against misrepresenting how user data is used and shared. The FTC, now run entirely by Republicans under the Trump administration, accepted the deal, which still requires court approval. OkCupid did not admit wrongdoing and stated its current privacy practices have since improved.
