"The complaint alleges that the makers behind the dating app Meete took that video without Lunglhofer's consent, overlayed it with graphics advertising the app, and added a voiceover to make it appear she was saying 'Are you looking for a friend with benefits?'"
"Abe Pafford, Lunglhofer's attorney, told CyberScoop that his client had no idea Meete was using her likeness until a male student in her dormitory told her he had repeatedly seen her in ads for the app on his Snapchat."
"Pafford called it 'implausible' that this was a coincidence, pointing to Meete's premise of connecting users with nearby women and the targeted nature of the ads."
A 19-year-old woman is suing the dating app Meete for allegedly using her TikTok video without consent in advertisements. The lawsuit claims the app repurposed her video, added a voiceover, and used geofencing to target ads to users nearby, including men in her dormitory. This case highlights concerns about technology enabling harassment and objectification, particularly of women. Recent laws have addressed AI-generated imagery, but this case involves traditional video editing techniques to create misleading content.
