>so it's unclear whether the privacy violations were actually occurring for 12 years.

i wasnt clear in my comment, but i meant it in the sense of "12 years to resolve this one incident".

>Claims that they were engaging in "intentional obstruction of the ftc investigation" are also unsupported beyond the false statements they made to the media and the users.

i am not particularly inclined to take OkCupids side here, and will default to accepting the FTCs allegation.

Yeah you're right. The part about obstructing the investigation was in the press release but I was only looking at the complaint.
