Japan's investment cash firehose Softbank and America's definitely-not-Google holding company Alphabet want you to use Manbang, and are paying $1.9bn for the pleasure.

TenCent should be avoided at all costs!
Recently, the Indian Army blacklisted 48 applications due to spying concerns.
Almost all of them are related to TenCent:
Over the past couple of days the Indian Intelligence Bureau has warned that the Chinese government has been collecting data through multiple apps made by Chinese developers. Many of these apps are made by Tencent, a known beneficiary of the Chinese government whose apps have been featured on this site a few times as well as DU Apps and Cheetah Mobile.

What is even more interesting is that some of those apps that were blacklisted are produced at a company where one of the CEO's from Emerdata (Cambridge Analytica offshoot) used to be an admin.

"Beauty Plus", "Beauty Cam", "SELFIECITY", "MeituPic" and others.
More interesting than that is those Meitu apps I listed all contain the now infamous Facebook Graph API.
Connecting the dots.
