Last week, the New York Times published an article stating that the ToTok application, a messaging application used by millions of people in the United Arab Emirates, in fact it was the UAE government's tool for exploration to its citizens.
Within a few hours of publishing this article, both Apple and Google began investigating this application code and continued remove it from their app stores. Instead of following the relevant channels, ToTok founder Giacomo Ziani published a titter asking them to reconsider their decision.
Message to @Questions and @Google from our Founder.@tim_cook @sundarpichai #totok #Check #google pic.twitter.com/soWwMJxgj9

In this message, Ziyani reaffirms that decision for Apple's merger with Google it hurts the company and jeopardize all efforts made by the company to achieve success when implementing a few calculations on request. Ziani also claims that ToTok has nothing to do with any government, either in the United Arab Emirates China or the United States.
Ziani adds that user privacy and data protection has always been a priority nor does he fully understand that after an analysis by the Google and Apple's monitoring team, and meeting all the requirements, it has been released by article.
The origin of the problem
WhatsApp such as Telegram and other messaging apps are not allowed and it has been banned in the United Arab Emirates from being ToTok the only open source messaging application in the country, which obviously gives a lot to think about.
A New York Times report said ToTok was created by Arab Emirates government officials tracking citizens from their respective countries and countries. Unlike the Telegraph or WhatsApp, ToTok does not claim to use endless encryption of messages, so its founder's statement to take the privacy of its users seriously is not unreasonable.
