If I was Tinder and I made discount price for young people I would not want to "settle" with someone who sued me because they felt "discriminated against".
Age discrimination is real, but this is not an instance of it IMO.
- walshemj 9y agoIf people over 30 think it is, it is Discrimination. And if your caught bang to rights it makes sense to settle instead of being paraded through the courts and have the oppositions highly paid rotwilers trash your senior management teams competence and ethics.
- TomMarius 9y agoI think you're discriminating me. Are you? My point: Just the opinion of people over 30 doesn't matter. Edit: thanks for the downvotes, note that they're not there for disagreement. Seems like we don't need judges and justice at all, we have opinions, right?
- dingo_bat 9y agoHow is this not age discrimination?
- TomMarius 9y agoAlmost every museum, public transit, swimming pool etc has different prices based on age. Is it discrimination?
- strathmeyer 9y agoYes, that's why there's laws concerning it.
- AndrewDucker 9y agoBy definition, it is, yes.
- MBCook 9y agoWhy don’t you think charging different prices to people of different ages is age discrimination?
- ViViDboarder 9y agoIsn’t it already pretty standard? Discounts for children, students, and seniors are all typically age based.
- AndrewDucker 9y ago"Standard" and "Not discrimination" are not the same thing.
- atonse 9y agoChildren's discounts are still charged to the parents paying. Student discounts are based on whether you're a student (something I can become at age 50 if I wanted to). Seniors, well, I don't have an answer :)
- atonse 9y agoThere has historically been a discount for “young poor kids” and we call that a student discount. Charging an amount simply based on the numerical value of age (a pure, permanent demographic attribute) rather than what a person’s economic circumstance (something technically not permanent) does at least form some definition of unfair pricing.

- yorwba 9y agoThey are treating people differently depending on their age. How is that not literally age discrimination? Something can be discrimination even if you don't feel bad about it, and conversely you don't need to feel about something just because it's discrimination.
- SippinLean 9y agoYes this is clearly not age discrimination, just the prejudicial treatment of different categories of people on the grounds of age.
- astura 9y agoThis is absolutely is, literally, age discrimination. I think you're confusing "not discrimination" with "not illegal," "not uncommon," "not something I personally care about," or "not something I personally think should be illegal." The real question/issue is is it illegal discrimination? Something can be discrimination but not illegal discrimination.
- AndrewDucker 9y agoWell, at least one judge says "Yes".
