Match Group Inc Q3 2020 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Cory Alan Carpenter - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Analyst : Wanted to ask about your key learnings from the Tinder Platinum test that you're running, I think, right now in 10 countries. And how this shapes your expectations around the upcoming global launch? And then maybe just beyond Platinum, how should we think about your key product focus areas for Tinder over the coming months and into '21?

Question: Daniel Salmon - BMO Capital Markets Equity Research - Analyst : I've got a bit of a modeling question for Gary, then maybe I'll try to back into a high-level one for Shar. First, Gary, just -- could you update us on Match's legal -- remaining legal proceedings? The DOJ and Bumble litigation is behind you now. Just maybe a little color on how your cost base around that is evolving. And then, Shar, the high-level one for you. I mean shedding some of these new term issues must be nice. My follow-up isn't really about legal issues or cost, but rather a high-level one about how you see the long-term path for the company. And what I mean is things like -- I don't -- I'm not going to ask you to take the temperature of the current legal climate. But you're seeing things like, for example, Section 230 protections for Internet platforms being poked at and reexamined, and social media CEOs back in Congress and things like that. Just thinking about your long-term vision for the company. Do those things matter for you? Do they matter for Match?
