Facebook is removing its Onavo VPN app from the Google Play Store and ending its unpaid market research programs following backlash over how the social network paid teens to spy on them.
The company’s Onavo Protect app will stop collecting user data through its virtual private network (VPN) and will eventually shut down after giving users time to find an alternative app to replace it.
Facebook will also stop recruiting new users for its Facebook Research App that is no longer available on iOS but is still operating on Android.
