Indian app platform Koo is making a headline for a few days. The microblogging platform is also doing rounds on the internet for leaking its users' data. Now, the app has issued an official statement and clarified that the data visible is voluntarily shown by the users and cannot be termed a data leak.

 This is in context with the screenshots shared by ethical hacker Elliot Alderson who recently claimed that the Indian micro-blogging site is leaking its users' personal information such as the date of birth, marital status, e-mail ID, name and gender. 

Aprameya Radhakrishna founder of Koo took to Twitter to clear the air amidst Koo's data leak controversy. He said, "The data visible is something that the user has voluntarily shown on their profile of Koo. It cannot be termed a data leak. If you visit a user profile you can see it anyway. 95% of Koo users log in through their mobile phone number. Language communities of India do not use email to log in and hence was not the priority of the company. Email login was introduced recently. Now that concerns have been raised it has already been blocked from view.
