Malaysia has banned the popular Israeli navigation app for civil servants and urged citizens not to use it. Motorists say they lack a viable homegrown alternative.
Looking for an alternative to Google, this reminded me to look into Waze. And, wtf, I was not aware of the history of waze. I feel like I’ve caught an unregulated Wikipedia edit, too.
Everything else aside, did not Google acquired Waze in 2013 ?
They did. Given light of recent events showing how deep and far back the ties go, I’m not going to be convinced it’s a clean break. It’s a subsidiary, and seems to still be based in Israel.
