DALLAS, July 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Match Group
(NASDAQ: MTCH) released the following statement from CEO and
Chairman, Greg Blatt, regarding
today's Net Neutrality Day of Action.
"The internet, and the mobile apps that utilize the internet,
have transformed the way people connect, meet and get to know their
significant others. With one out of every three dates,
relationships, and marriages beginning with a dating product,
Americans have truly embraced online dating for the myriad of
benefits that it offers, including expanded options, efficiency,
convenience, and increased control. Choice, convenience, and
efficiency are the backbone of net neutrality, the guiding
principle of the internet, and provide the ability for more people
to connect online than ever before."
"Match Group stands in solidarity with hundreds of other
companies and millions of consumers supporting robust and
enforceable net neutrality rules. Net neutrality ensures our
consumers continue to have the freedom to find that special someone
by making sure that users won't be shut off or slowed
down when using our services. It also ensures continued
innovation in the dating space for new products and services to be
offered, regardless of the size and resources of the companies that
come up with the ideas. We are proud to work with the Internet
Association and others to support net neutrality."
