News & Reviews:   third-party brokers

Yesterday, we reported that Muslim Pro app came under fire for selling location data to third-party brokers and the US military as well. In fact, Vice's Motherboard did a whole new column on the facts and details of how they operate and it's a tough one on the company. Despite that, the Muslim Pro Team released a press statement in their defence to the matter.

For those who don't know what is the app, Muslim Pro is a prayer app that sends daily reminders about praying and readings from the Quran. Dubbed as the "most popular" Muslim app ever with over 98 million downloads, it looks like they got themselves in hot water right now as it was reported that they have been selling users' data and location to the US military.
