Malaysia PM Anwar warns against Israeli navigation app Waze over data security concerns

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has advised Malaysians against using popular navigation app Waze, citing concerns about data security and the app's Israeli origins. The navigation app was developed in Israel before being acquired by Google in 2013. In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Oct 21), Anwar encouraged Malaysians to switch to Tuju, a locally developed alternative. Waze has denied allegations that its navigation application collects sensitive government information or lets third parties exploit users’ personal data. #malaysia #malaysianews #waze Subscribe to our channel here: Visit our website: Download our app: Get our editors' picks of stor (Source: CNA (Channel NewsAsia) | Region: Tel Aviv / Jerusalem)
