Huawei Tracks User's Privacy for Emirati Government
[ABSTRACT]
Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei endorsed an Emirati messaging app downloaded by millions of users that was reportedly being used by the United Arab Emirates government to track user's conversations, movements, relationships, appointments, and pictures.
American officials familiar with a classified intelligence assessment, along with a New York Times investigation, claimed that popular mobile app ToTok is actually an Emirati spying tool. The app was introduced in recent months and has been downloaded millions of times from the Apple and Google play store, the report said.
On Thursday, Google removed the app from its Play store, according to The Times, saying that ToTok violated unspecified policies, while Apple removed ToTok from its App Store on Friday.
