Grindr asks judge to toss suit condemning gay dating app

A judge will decide if a lawsuit can proceed against a gay dating app after over 1,000 sex-hungry men accosted a New York man at home and work after an ex-boyfriend posted fake profiles. Grindr asked a Manhattan federal court judge Wednesday to toss out Matthew Herrick's claims. The company says the Communications Decency Act protects it from liability and Herrick should sue his ex-lover instead. Grindr says it can't be blamed because Herrick got "mixed up with a tech savvy, judgment-proof individual." Herrick sued Grindr, saying he couldn't stop a steady stream of unwelcome visitors despite roughly 100 complaints reporting the damage from dozens of fake profiles made in his name.
