"Wizz App: The Rise and Fall of a Teen-Focused Social Platform"
Wizz, a popular social media app for teens, was removed from the Apple app store and Google Play due to concerns about its alleged use in sextortion scams. The app, similar to Tinder, allows users as young as 13 to set up accounts and connect with others in an "age-gated" group. Concerns about child safety and sextortion have led to the app's removal, with research groups criticizing its inadequate protection of minors. The app's parent company, Voodoo, is working with Apple and Google to address the concerns and hopes to resolve the matter soon.
