Joe's Comments
Does this lawsuit really surprise anyone? True.com tried to set itself up as a company "concerned" for online daters by trying to get background check legislation forced into the online dating industry. Now the company's TRUE colors are coming out. I don't think we'll see much sympathy from the public on this one. In addition, my opinion is that the negative publicity from this lawsuit will easily cancel out any good publicity True.com has tried to get in the past with its background legislation practices. And now you have to ask yourself, will legislatures really want to align themself with True.com and this lawsuit exposing the company's "dirty" practices?
hey, jim I would like to give you some info on True...
