MTN wants to pay me #500,00 to take down this post💔💔‼️
Yesterday I called out MTN and how they steal data from their users
The post made serious waves and a lot of small accounts and influencers with millions of followers joined me to call out MTN
I just checked my DM now and saw MTN wants me to take down the post.
I’m tempted to accept the money but something came to my mind
If i accept this #500,000 wouldn’t I spend more that this if MTN don’t stop stealing data from Nigerians?
If I accept this money I’ll be saving only myself and leaving other Nigerians to be victims of MTN’S theft
@MTNNG I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOUR #500,000
STOP STEALING FROM NIGERIANS
THAT IS ALL WE WANT!!!
We have removed Kled from the Nigerian app store and IP banned the entire region.
The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest app adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support.
Kled has been up and running and out of beta for 4 months now. We have paid out hundreds of thousands of people for their data, and our users have uploaded over 1 billion assets onto our platform.
After several months of uploads we found that Nigeria had a ≈95% fraud rate. Instead of real, usable data, users were uploading pictures of black screens, duplicate photos, internet generated images, AI generated images, etc. at an unimaginable scale.
In comparison, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have a less than 10% fraud rate across 10x the userbase size.
Our fraud system is fast to catch these issues but the level of complexity of these schemes is getting out of hand.
This weekend we were flooded with thousands of fake Japanese passports and identity cards with Nigerians photoshopped onto them in our KYC system. That was the final straw.
As a startup we can't afford to eat the costs of that data overhead, so we temporarily removed the app from the region while we improved our fraud detection and banning system to quickly filter out bad actors when the time is right.
On top of all of this, every time we make a post there is someone asking us to bring the region back within seconds. We hear you, but it's gotten out of hand.
We've made this decision with great care. We love everyone who has genuinely supported Kled from Nigeria, and we hope to return when the time is right.
