Tinder, the iOS App Store's fastest-growing dating app, set itself apart from the online dating competition in early 2013 by combining the personality-algorithm matching of OKCupid with GPS functionality, allowing users to comb through eligible, interested singles faster than ever before.

Yesterday, the app gained a different sort of attention after former Tinder executive Whitney Wolfe filed a wide-ranging sexual harassment claim against the company. The complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, included copies of enough scathing text exchanges sent to Wolfe by co-founder/CMO Justin Mateen to prompt the company to announce Mateen's temporary suspension "pending an ongoing internal investigation."

In addition to allegations of frequent, public, and sexist name-calling, the 19-page complaint alleged that Mateen "told Ms. Wolfe that he was taking away her 'co-founder' title because having a young female co-founder 'makes the company seem like a joke' and 'devalues' the company." Additionally, the complaint alleges a complete failure by both Tinder CEO Sean Rad and parent company Match.com CEO Sam Yagan to react to accusations of corporate impropriety; in the case of the latter, Yagan was alleged to have reacted to her complaints by saying, "I can still sleep at night."

The complaint claims that Mateen and Wolfe began to date in February 2013, nearly a year after Tinder was founded, but that relationship began to deteriorate in November 2013, at which point Mateen began to text Wolfe about her friendships with "middle-aged Muslim pigs" and that he'd react to any legal action by "barking back like a psycho."

The texts offer a remarkable paper trail of the dissolution of Mateen and Wolfe's apparent relationship break-up—quite the allegory for the find-dates-fast situations that Tinder affords. Worse, it's another example of a young tech company exploding quickly with a lack of moral and social responsibility—surely a parable for other tech startups if they have longevity on their minds.
