alleging they took a video she posted online, repurposed it without her consent into an advertisement for the app, then used geofencing to target that ad to people in her area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/28089054-lunglhofer-v-quantum-communications-ecf-1-filed-complaint-april-28-4\/\">lawsuit<\/a> filed Apr. 28 in Tennessee and an interview with her lawyer, the company allegedly used geotargeting to serve the ads on platforms like Snapchat to users near her, including men in her own dormitory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The allegations, if proven, offer another example of how modern technology has made it easier than ever today for bad actors to imitate, objectify, profit off and harass individuals, often women. Recent laws like the <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/ftc-ai-portolio-getting-bigger-take-it-down-voice-cloning\/\">Take It Down Act<\/a> have focused particularly on the use of AI to create sexualized imagery of their victims. In this case, the lawsuit alleges that Meete used not AI, but simple video editing, a voiceover and geofencing to create the same kind of deception.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;On the day of her high school graduation, Kaelyn Lunglhofer posted a brief video to TikTok, wearing an orange outfit and saying a few words to her followers over background music. She went on to attend the University of Tennessee in the fall, where she began building a following as a TikTok influencer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The complaint alleges that the makers behind the dating app Meete took that video without Lunglhofer\u2019s consent, overlayed it with graphics advertising the app, and added a voiceover to make it appear she was saying \u201cAre you looking for a friend with benefits? This app shows you women around you who are looking for some fun. You can video chat with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abe Pafford, Lunglhofer\u2019s 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 shortly after the two had met.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pafford called it \u201cimplausible\u201d that this was a coincidence, pointing to Meete\u2019s premise of connecting users with nearby women and the precision of geofencing technology. Before filing the case, Pafford\u2019s law firm hired an investigative firm to gather additional evidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the idea is they want[ed] viewers of these advertisements \u2013 and candidly this is pretty clearly targeted at male viewers \u2013 to have their eye caught by someone they may know or recognize or think they may have seen around, and that\u2019s part of what makes it so disturbing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pafford said he believes Lunglhofer is far from the only person whose image Meete has misappropriated, and that most victims likely have no idea it\u2019s happening. Lunglhofer herself only had evidence because the student who told her had saved recordings and screenshots of the ads featuring her video.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe bottom line is we think there are likely others that have been victimized in a similar way, but finding out who they are and landing on tangible proof of that can be challenging,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Snap did not respond to a request for comment on this story. <\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit cites alleged violation of multiple federal and state laws, including the Lanham Act, the primary U.S. law governing trademark rights. The suit also alleges violations of Tennessee state law under the ELVIS Act, which prevents the unauthorized use of image or likeness for artists and musicians, and Tennessee common laws for defamation and right of publicity.<\/p>\n<p>Lunglhofer is seeking $750,000 in punitive damages, as well as any revenue tied to the ads featuring her likeness. Pafford said that the advertisements damaged her online brand and reputation while also putting her at risk of harassment or falsely implying she was endorsing a local dating service and was open to casual hookups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really kind of grotesque and it\u2019s also kind of dangerous,\u201d he said. \u201cSomeone may not be aware that this is happening and they\u2019re targeted in this way, but you can put people at risk in ways that are really troubling if you stop to think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The suit names Quantum Communications Development Unlimited, based in the Virgin Islands, as well as Chinese companies Starpool Data Limited and Guangzhou Yuedong Interconnection Technology, as defendants. A judge has ordered representatives from all three to appear for depositions in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Quantum Communications Development Unlimited has a sparse internet footprint: their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quantumdev.ltd\/\">website<\/a> consists of a single page with a message written in broken English and an email address that no longer appears to work. Efforts by CyberScoop to reach the company and other defendants for comment were not successful. The company is listed as Meete\u2019s publisher on Apple\u2019s App Store, where it describes the app as \u201ca space where you can be yourself and meet people\u201d and promises \u201csafety and respect first\u201d \u2014 adding that \u201cMeete provides a secure environment where your privacy and safety are our top concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The description also claims the app adheres to Apple\u2019s safety standards, citing a \u201cZero-Tolerance Policy regarding objectionable content and abusive behavior.\u201d Listed safeguards include \u201c24\/7\u201d manual reviews by moderation teams, instant reporting and blocking of other users, and AI filtering \u201cto detect and prevent harassment before it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Meete\u2019s Google Play Store page, user reviews accuse the app of failing to match them to nearby users and being largely populated by bots posing as women to sell in-app currency.<\/p>\n<p>Pafford acknowledged that the defendants being based overseas complicates efforts to hold them accountable under U.S. law, but argued that Meete is clearly designed to operate in the United States. The companies behind the app have filed U.S. patents and trademarks, for their business, and distribute their app through the Apple and Google Play Stores while advertising on major U.S. social media platforms like Snapchat. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Apple and Google did not respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>You can read the full lawsuit below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.4718309859155\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a-college-student-is-suing-a-dating-app-that-allegedly-used-her-tiktok-videos-to-target-men-in-her-dormitory.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
