FlightAware said Kalshi had named it as the primary source agency for the markets' settlement, but that it had not authorized Kalshi to use its name, data or trademarks for that purpose.

Kalshi’s unauthorized use of FlightAware’s data and name meant customers assumed FlightAware was involved in the scheme, lawyers for the flight-tracking company wrote in the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday.

Kalshi did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment outside of business hours.

The "US flight cancellations for the week ending at 5pm EDT on 8/14" contract was available on Kalshi's website at the time of reporting, Reuters' checks showed. The listing stated: "Outcome verified from FlightAware."

Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket have soared in popularity since the 2024 U.S. presidential election, when they fared better than pollsters in predicting Republican Donald Trump's victory over Democrat Kamala Harris.

Polymarket and Kalshi allow traders and gamblers to bet on a wide array of events, ranging from the results of sports matches to elections and even on events related to the wars in Iran and Ukraine.

FlightAware is seeking unspecified damages, as well as court orders barring Kalshi from using its data and name. It also seeks a jury trial.

You all know Kalshi and Polymarket are going to be closed down by law after Trump's term is over, right?

>implying a Republican SCOTUS or Senate minority will leave all that money on the table
They'd sooner ban stock buybacks.

>>1529097
Banning stock buybacks would effectively ban corporations from paying off their debt. Like "defending the police" it would fundamentally transform society and not for the better

It's Defund the police not defend the police stupid auto correct

>>1529098
>>1529101
We'd be better off taxing every stock trade and heavily regulating, or banning private equity along with gutting Dodge vs Ford to enshrine stakeholder supremacy.
Also defund the police would work, but if you take the money meant for them and instead put it into social and mental health, which creates another means for helping people that isn't just cops who go in guns blazing since they've been trained to see everyone as the enemy.

Either way, systems like Kalshi should be banned because of the obvious corruption. I mean we've seen the trump crime family already abuse it with his failing war in Iran because he's enriching himself off bets.

>>1529141
What's wrong with Dodge Vs Ford?
I thought we effectively solved the problem by allowing the formation of benefit corporations
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation
it allows corporations and their directors to lawfully devote resources to employees customers and communities rather than primarily to stockholder profits

Fuck liggeralism

>systems like Kalshi should be banned because of the obvious corruption
Them gaslighting people into thinking insider trading and blatant manipulation was cool and based actually is proof that Americans are too dumb for finance

>>1529147
There is 0 proof of any suspicious behavior going on through Kalshi

And why didn't liggerals care about corruption when the Obama's and Briben crime family were looting America and Ukraine

>>1529101
It's literally the only Democrat policy I ever supported and when you say, "You wanted to defund the police" they all shy away from it.
Defund the fuckers.

>>1529144
It's bad because someone else told me untrue or out of context things about it.

Trump. Crime. Family.

You will never be taken seriously again :^)

the lawsuit is dropped but the issue of forcing flights to be canceled remains:

They wont let me bet on Kalshi and Polymarket ceos homes being firebombed, its weird

>>1529144
Benefits only for shareholders, not stakeholders, which creates the fatal flaw of capitalism.

Why would you lie so brazenly?

>>1529156
Kalshi is inherently fucking illegal. If you can bet on anything, that means people who can influence the outcome can bet too. It's rigged gambling. The fact it existed for as long as it did without the law coming down on it is genuinely shocking.

>>1529553
>Inherently illegal.

If it was so inherently illegal than why is it legal? Dumb fuck. It's clearly legal if the government and courts have declared it legal. You're just a seething liggeral with TDS.
