The deal — which closed in late 2023 and was only recently made public in an earnings report — is igniting calls to boycott the app, which has well over six million users. The original app — which was originally customized for the Muslim market — was also replaced with a generic dating app that is similar to the company’s platforms for Black and Latino communities.
