Authorities confirmed that it would send a cease and desist request to Ghosty, an app on Google store that lets people check information on private profiles. This was even without the user accepting their follow request. This is one serious cause for violation. Worse is the case in which Ghosty exposes those profiles. The spread of apps like this could bring an utter nuisance to the world of privacy which users are entitled to on Instagram. Authorities claimed that it would take strict attention to make this app obsolete for protecting user data and privacy It is startling, however, as to how the app has stayed on App stores for so long without Google or Instagram noticing it. The cyberworld is not safe, and privacy is something that all giants apps and companies take note of as it is a necessary condition to retain users and enforce loyalty. The proceedings will start, and it is only a matter of time before Ghosty is ousted from the app store.
