YouTuber Devin Stone, known for his Legal Eagle channel, is leading a class action lawsuit against PayPal's Honey extension, alleging that it improperly replaces affiliate links with its own, detrimentally affecting creators' income. Filed in California, the lawsuit claims Honey's actions violate the state's Unfair Competition Law by interfering with creators' business partnerships. The complaint highlights Honey's method of using pop-ups to switch affiliate cookies during checkout, thereby redirecting credit for sales. PayPal denies these allegations, stating Honey adheres to industry standards like last-click attribution. The plaintiffs seek damages and an injunction to stop Honey's alleged practices.
