VICE - Nov 18 - Muslim Pro, a Muslim prayer app with ~98M downloads, is one of the apps connected to a supply chain that sends people's personal data to brokers, contractors, and the military. Another app in that chain is Muslim Mingle, a dating app that has been downloaded ~100K times. Many of the users of apps involved in the data supply chain are Muslim. Muslim Mingle is sending precise geolocation coordinates of the phone's current location and wifi network name. The developer behind the app as well as other dating apps such as Black Mingle which is marketed specifically towards Black people, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
