Hong Kong Developer's suspicious 'Blood Sugar' App Reaches 293,000 in EU Through 210 Meta Ads

About 210 active Meta ads urging users to "Monitor your blood sugar" lead to Beatly: Blood Pressure & Sugar, a Google Play app with more than 5 million installs whose own description says it "does not measure blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, or any medical data directly". One ad reached an estimated 293,126 EU accounts. The payer is a Hong Kong subsidiary of a Chinese advertising group. No phone camera can measure blood glucose.
