The carrier has officially launched its new "App Insights" program after more than a year in beta. App Insights allows marketers to buy user data directly from T-Mobile, with a particular emphasis on data showing which apps you have on your phone and which apps you regularly use. T-Mobile's creepy new App Insights program News of the official launch of T-Mobiles App Insights program was first reported by Ad Exchanger after an interview with Jess Zhu, the carriers head of advertising products and development. Essentially, App Insights is a new app-based analytics platform that allows marketers to track, segment and target T-Mobile wireless subscribers based on the apps they have installed on their phone and their engagement patterns. https://9to5mac.com/2022/06/27/t-mobile-selling-user-data/ -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

T-Mo, for one, found itself under some arguably well-deserved legal scrutiny relatively recently after failing to keep millions of customers safe from an unprecedented cyberattack less than a year ago, and now the "Un-carrier" is in (a bit of) hot water again... for the weirdest reason. https://www.phonearena.com/news/verizon-att-customers-t-mobile-class-action-lawsuit-price-increases_id140914 -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
