ToTok was a messaging app and Voice over IP app, developed by G42 (company), a UAE-based artificial intelligence company. It was the first Voice over IP app which the Emirati government allowed, and introduced in 2019 in Abu Dhabi Global Market economic free zone.[1] According to The New York Times, it was also a mass surveillance tool of the United Arab Emirates intelligence services, used to gather private information on users' phones. The Times's reporting, denied by the app's developers, caused Google and Apple to remove the app in December 2019. It was removed on 15 February 2020.
