Complaint to Shin Bet against Ra'am: suspicion of tracking voters via app

In depth

The "Bocharim BeChayim" forum filed a complaint with the head of the Shin Bet following the exposure of the "Asawatkum" app. According to Channel 14, the forum claims the app was used by senior Ra'am activists to track voter participation in real time.

According to Channel 14, the system was set up about a month and a half before the elections and gained over 500 downloads. The complaint also alleges involvement by bodies with ties to the Palestinian Authority in developing the app, and calls for a criminal investigation to determine the identity of its operators and the information collected through it.

According to Maariv, the complaint was submitted to David Zini. According to Kikar HaShabbat, the matter concerns suspicion of tracking voters at polling stations, and the suspicion of involvement by Ramallah-linked bodies has not yet been examined.
