Ivanka Trumps Website Promotes A Russian App That Quietly Tracks Your LocationThe company has ties to the Russian government. The tracking is standard, the developer says.
Gervash, a pilot with a degree in psychology, told BuzzFeed News in an email: We are very happy that our app has created such a hype and so many discussions among our followers. Allow us to remind you that the main goal of SkyGuru is to explain to anxious passengers the ongoing processes during flight in order to help them cope with fear of flying.
