It rushed to market after the shooting of Brian Thompson
WTF?! The idea of using an app to book an escort of armed guards sounds like something from a cyberpunk dystopian tale, but that's what the Protector app does. It's using the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as an example of where Protector's services could have made a difference, and its popularity has been boosted by a pair of influencers who used the app in a viral video.
WTF?! Would you be willing to use the App Store-topping DeepSeek if doing so were illegal, potentially landing you behind bars for 20 years and a fine up to $1 million? A senator has introduced a new bill designed to restrict Chinese AI products that would make this bizarre scenario a reality.
