The co-founder mentioned that the backlash the app got through the recent rumours was severely impacting their start-up business and putting their ‘efforts at risk’
Giac also invited the two tech giants to come down to their office and meet them in person to discuss any further inquiries that they might have regarding the free-calling service
In a previous written statement by the co-founders it was mentioned that an analysis carried out by a former NSA employee has concluded that ToTok ‘simply does what it claims to do, and really nothing more… no exploits, no backdoors, and no malware’.
The UAE law strictly prohibits espionage and have denied any and all association with ToTok and put to rest the rumours of the government using the app as a skying tool
UAE peeps love the calling app and a number of the users have continuously shown their support to ToTok throughout the controversy.
