[kictanet] Your Contact Lists and Privacy

[Ali Hussein]

Adrian

I stopped using Truecaller ages ago...That however, doesn't stop people who
don't know me, calling me and knowing exactly who I am, including my social
media handles. Very spooky. This is one app I'd be happy to see
completely banned. I'm, however, really curious, how a Swedish company,
who's country is a member of the EU, continues to operate in this murky
Data Privacy Violation space....
