Price discrimination is illegal if it's on the basis of gender, race, religion, or nationality. Tinder isn't charging men more however - just older people.

It's unlikely age-based price discrimination will ever be made illegal, because it would effectively outlaw senior discounts.

Tell that to all the entertainment venues that offer discounts or no cover for women.
At least outside the US it was a thing: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8618343/Tinder-Plus...

There's some anecdotes online that it used to charge more for men. I don't know if all those people didn't live in the US.
