Google and Apple app highlighted by 2 Saudis

The two sisters fled Saudi Arabia and appealed for international protection earlier this month (Georgia Sisters)    Maha and Wafa al-Subaie, who are seeking asylum in Georgia after fleeing their family, said on Wednesday that Absher, a Saudi government e-services app, was bad for women as it supported the kingdom's strict male guardian system. "It gives men control over women," said Wafa, 25.  "They have to remove it," she added, referring to Google and Apple.
Absher, which is available in the Saudi version of Google and Apple online stores, allows men to update or withdraw permissions for female relatives to travel abroad and to get SMS updates if their passports are used, according to researchers.  https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/pull-inhuman-women-monitoring-app-runaway-saudi-sisters-tell-tech-giants
