Girl tracking app maker claims to support privacy
The developer of controversial girl tracking app Girls Around Me, i-Free, has issued a statement on Sunday defending the app. It told the Wall Street Journal that it withdrew the app voluntarily after the Foursquare block rendered the app inactive. The Russian firm argued that, despite a heavy marketing focus on messaging and tracking women, that there was a "serious misunderstanding" of what the app was meant for.
