Facebook shuts down its pay-for-data iOS app

Facebook is axing the iOS version of its controversial VPN Research app that paid users aged 13 to 35 for access to their data, according to The Verge. The social network has announced that its market research program will no longer be open to iOS users following a TechCrunch report that made its existence more widely known. That piece also pointed out that the program is likely in violation of Apple's App Store guidelines on data collection, particularly its certificate system.
